Brass Statues of Hanuman

Exotic India keeps hundreds of brass sculptures of Hanuman available for you. These hand-made artisanal statues are one of a kind art pieces that make any room of your home sparkle with the charm of Hanuman, one of the great figures of the Indian literary canon.

 

Hanuman is a famous character from the Ramayana, appearing in the Mahabharata as well, and he is the premier Monkey God of Hindu culture. As a god, he has control over wind, allowing him to fly at high speeds, and he is also the god of the mind and learning — not to mention his control over a vast monkey army.

 

As a young monkey, Hanuman was hungry, and he looked up at the sky, mistaking the sun for a piece of fruit. He made a glorious effort to capture the sun to eat it, but the god of thunder Indra attacked Hanuman with a lightning bolt. Hanuman’s father Vayu, the god of wind, stopped the wind’s blowing in protest of his son being attacked. To get the winds moving once more, the gods resurrected Hanuman, giving him ever greater powers.

 

But Hanuman was still a young child, and he played the trickster role among the holy men of India. As a punishment, he was made ignorant of his own magnificent powers. It took Hanuman a long path of self discovery to regain this knowledge, leading to a more humble deity.

 

In the Ramayana, Vishnu’s avatar Rama is accompanied by Hanuman on many adventures. These stories make up most people’s first encounter with the monkey god. Within the tales of the Ramayana, Hanuman proves to be a valiant ally and fighter for good.

 

Exotic India’s statues of Hanuman for sale are a tribute to this wonderful deity. Each is made by expert artisans, producing true works of art.


FAQs


Q1. Which side should the Hanuman idol face?

 

A Hanuman idol in your home is an eternal source of the potencies of Bhagwan Hanuman, protecting its residents from the clasp of Akaal Mrityu (untimely death) and the fear of unknown enemies. According to Vastu and Hindu ritual experts, the Hanuman idol should preferably face South or Dakshina Disha. This way, the devotee will have their face to the north (Uttara) which is considered a promising direction. Dakshina is also the direction where Yamaraja (Lord of Death) resides, and keeping an eye on his abode, Bhagwan Hanuman assures that dreads and death do not worry his devotees.


Q2. Which Hanuman statue is good for home?

 

Hindus have a lot of Gods and Goddesses to worship and Lord Hanuman is one of them who have a lot of believers. Panchmukhi Hanuman should be kept in the house. While getting a Hanuman Murti, choose the calm one, or with both hands in pranam mudra sited at the feet of his Idol Ram, or in flying mudra carrying the medicine -mountain. Prana Pratishta (giving life) to the murti should be done by a priest. It is auspicious if the photo is in the meditation form or chanting bhajans in devotion to Lord Ram.


Q3. Where Hanuman images should be placed?

 

To eradicate chaos or evil energy from the house, the Hanuman idol must be kept in the house to eradicate the negative vibe, allowing positive one for prosperity in life. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Hanuman's influence is the strongest in the south. Therefore, it is best to keep the murti facing the southwest direction in the puja room or Altar and/ or at the entrance of the Home. No idols or photos of Hanuman (or any Gods or Goddess) should be kept near the toilet and not even in the bedroom.

 

Q4. Can we keep Hanuman idol in the car?

 

Blessings of the Divine must be earned for every ride one used to take. Hanuman, popularly known as Bajarang Bali possesses immense courage and firmness like the Himalayas. So his sacred Mantra showers humans with courage and gives them strength to face any kind of challenge in life. Keeping a One-Mukhi Hanuma or Panch-Mukhi Hanuman's photo in the car or any vehicle destroys all evil and fears and bad omens.

Hanuman – A Great Warrior Who Played a Crucial Role in The Ramayana
Agni, the god of fire, blessed him with immunity to fire. Surya, the sun god, gave him the power to change the size of his body. Yama blessed him with good health and immortality. Vishwakarma, the divine architect, offered a boon that he would be safe from all objects of his creation. Invincible and immortal are the words primarily associated with him. He is Hanuman. Hanuman is one of the many deities of the Hindu tradition. He is regarded as the monkey-general of a mythic monkey kingdom, known as Kiskindha. In Hindu tradition, Hanuman is most commonly known for his role in the Ramayana, in which he is a great ally to Rama and Laksmana . The Ramayana describes how Hanuman was devoted to Rama and willingly set off to Lanka to search for Sita. Rama is unable to go himself; he had been expelled from the city for his 14-year exile. Earlier in the Ramayana, Rama had said that “everywhere, even among the animals, can be found good creatures that follow the ways of righteousness, that are brave and provide a sure place of refuge”.
The Heroics of Hanuman
The Heroics of Hanuman There are undoubtedly numerous icons and figures in Hinduism and in Indian culture. While the gods and goddesses always take precedence, another significant figure is that of Hanuman. Hanuman is a famed companion of the god Rama and takes the form of a divine monkey. As such, stories about Hanuman can be found in the Ramayana, which is one of the most important epics in Indian culture. Aside from being the companion of Rama, another one of his roles is that of the commander of the monkey army. The precise definition of the name Hanuman seems to be unclear. However, legend has it that one morning, Hanuman flew into the sky in order to grab the sun, which he mistook for a fruit. This act led Indra, who is the king of the gods, to strike Hanuman on the jaw with a thunderbolt, thus breaking and disfiguring his jaw. The name Hanuman emerged from this as it means “one having a disfigured jaw”. Hanuman is also referred to by many other names, including Hanumat, Anuman, Anjaneya, Kesarisuta, and Kapeeshwara, among others.
Lord Hanuman – A Prototype of the Ideal Worshipper
Lord Hanuman – A Prototype of the Ideal Worshipper Hanuman, the ancient monkey-divinity of India: for many, he represents the force of life in man\'s struggle to exist. He is most known for his devotion to the god-king Rama, and for his exploits as leader of the monkey army that helped save Rama\'s princess from the demon-king of Lanka. Yet in northern parts of the country, Hanuman is a god of great importance in his own right. There he is worshiped as the epitome of strength and vitality; popular legends associate him not so much with the self-restrained Rama as with Siva, possessor of creative and destructive energy. Hanuman is well known throughout India-rural and urban, north and south. He appears in much Sanskrit and vernacular dramatic literature, and in epic poems; he is the central hero of many folk stories, and a popular subject of village plays and dances. His likeness in stone and wood adorns many shrines. Brightly coloured pictures of him are hawked in city streets and pasted to the walls of homes and shops. In his honour, monkeys are fed in the precincts of many temples. Whether as Hanuman or as Mahavira ("Great Hero") he is known to almost every Hindu-children and adults, literate and illiterate alike. The word Hanuman is derived from two Sanskrit words ‘Hanu’ and ‘Man’. While the word ‘Hanu’ means jaw, ‘Man’ means disfigured. Hanuman was called so because he had a disfigured jaw right from his childhood. Another version, found in Jain texts, indicates that the name was derived from the island "Hanuruha", where Hanuman spent his childhood.
Shri Hanuman - Biography of a Masterful Servant
"In theology or tradition of devotion, no god of any pantheon in India is venerated so much for redeeming in crisis as Hanuman....Whatever Rama\'s attributes as the supreme God or Vishnu\'s incarnation, when broken hearted he wandered in search of Sita, Hanuman came to his aid....Accounts of Hanuman\'s birth and parentage in the Ramayana, Skanda Purana, Bhavishyottara Purana, Brahmananda Purana and some other texts are almost identical....Jain texts have quite a different legend of Hanuman\'s birth....Once Shiva, disguised as a monkey trainer, visited Ayodhya with Hanuman as an ordinary monkey dancing for its master....A monkey-like face and tail apart, the images of Hanuman, wearing a helmet-type crown and loincloth, pursue norms of human anatomy....Hanuman He breeds contemplative seriousness."
Mysterious and Inspiring Stories of Hanuman Ji
"In Hindu symbolism, a monkey signifies the human mind, which is ever restless and never still... Hanuman is symbolic of the perfect mind, and embodies the highest potential it can achieve... Hanuman\'s name...illustrates his self-effacing character, being made up of \'hanan\' (annihilation) and \'man\' (mind), thus indicating one who has conquered his ego... Hanuman never threatens the world with his virility unlike say Shiva whose virility often has to be restrained by goddess Kali... He is...a perfect karma yogi since he performs his actions with detachment, acting as an instrument of destiny rather than being impelled by any selfish motive..."
