Indian Literature is rich in epics, Ramayana is one of the most prominent. Lord Hanuman is one of the most loved and revered characters of Ramayana. The son of the wind god, Vayu, Hanuman accompanied Rama in his mission to rescue Sita from Ravana’s golden city of Lanka. He served as one of the generals of Rama’s ape army, the famed Vaanar Sena. He is renowned for his superhuman strength and his ardent devotion towards his liege, Lord Rama. He is a celibate god. He also finds mention in the epic Mahabharata, as well as in the various Puranas. He is equally revered in the Buddhist tradition.
In this beautiful brass statue, Lord Hanuman is represented standing in Anjali mudra, a posture of offering worship. He wears a traditional dhoti and is adorned with armlets, anklets, heavy necklaces, and earrings. A beautifully designed ornate crown decorates his head. He wears the sacred thread, from his left shoulder, and diagonally across his upper body. His tail curves up around his back, forming a kind of halo around his head. Two pieces of clothes are pleated neatly at both sides of his waist. He is standing on a stepped rectangular pedestal. This mesmerizing piece of art comes from the South Indian tradition of sculptures.
