Hanuman Images

When I was writing my last post, I found alot of cool images of the Hindu deity Hanuman - depicted as a half-man, half-monkey.

There are some cool wallpapers on an Indian website called SantaBanta.com.


The one below is awesome. From what I can tell, the scene is of this story from Hindu scripture. You have a flying monkey-god carrying a mountain over an army of apes surrounding Rama & Sita. As imagery goes, it is wonderfully crazy:


Equally wonderful is another image of Hanuman in my favorite color - Green, the color of life and prosperity. Hanuman seems to excel at moving mountains:


I also found a website with a bunch of links to Hanuman pictures, like this flowery (almost trippy) image:


Ok, and I just saw this video clip from a live action Bollywood film featuring Hanuman. It really 'takes off' around the 2-minute mark. It is from a film called Bajrangbali & the movie trailer is even better.

  3. Hello!

    I just wanted to let you know that in the first picture on this post that is Rama's brother Lakshman lying on the ground, not Sita. Lord Hanuman is bringing a mountain covered with healing herbs in order to heal Lakshman. :)
