Historical & Scriptural Significance

Lord Hanuman is the greatest devotee of Lord Rama and the embodiment of selfless service, devotion, and divine strength. As Vayu-Putra (son of the Wind God) and Anjaneya (son of Anjana), he represents the pinnacle of Bhakti Yoga. His story in the Ramayana (especially the Sundara Kanda) demonstrates that with devotion, dedication, and divine grace, all impossibilities become possible.
