“Aashirvaad Anjaneya” or Hanuman with his hand in the gesture of blessing, is a powerful and integral member of the retinue of Sri Rama in Tamil Vaishnava temples.
“Vanaranamadheesham”- the Lord of all Vanara (monkeys), Hanuman embodies valor, regalia, and kindness in the form presented in this bronze. As the most powerful chief of Rama’s army, Hanuman is adorned with Vaishnava tilak, globular Ratna kundala (gemmed earrings), Kaccha style dhoti, ornate girdle, and lotus garland. His hand gracefully rests on his Gada (mace), enhancing the beauty and animation of this murti.
Kiritmukha, the Hindu symbol of self-surrender forms a unique crest in the crown of Hanuman, who is the manifestation of supreme devotion.
Protruding teeth, raised eyebrows (Bhrikuti), and enlarged eyes, Hanuman in this Panchaloha icon is depicted as the mighty guardian of Rama’s sacred kingdom and as the divine guardian, standing between obstacles and devotees as an unsurpassable shield.
