Seated in a variant of Virasana (hero’s pose), associated with his iconography, Hanuman in this granite sculpture wears a royal crown, the Vaishnava tilak, ornate jewelry, and a delicate dhoti whose tassels fall beautifully in the front, detailed with fine etchings in the stone.
A meditative calm is expressed in the face of Hanuman with an animation in his eyes. He has placed his Gada (mace) on his shoulder and raises the other hand in Abhaya or a gesture of fearlessness.
This active attitude and pose is a representation of Hanuman’s swiftness and benevolence, always ready to protect and guide his devotees.
While the weapon and pose suggest power, the beauty of Hanuman is captured in his delicate tresses, a hint of a smile on his face, and the smooth polishing and natural musculature on his legs and torso.
