The name Hanuman comes from the Sanskrit words “Hanu” and “Man,” which means “jaw” and “prominent” or “disfigured,” respectively. Therefore, Hanuman is commonly interpreted to mean “one with a disfigured jaw” or “prominent jaw.”

According to Hindu mythology, Hanuman Ji is a beloved devotee of Lord Rama and one of the central characters in the epic Indian story of Ramayana. He is considered a symbol of strength, courage, and devotion. He is also known as “Mahavira,” meaning “the great hero,” and “Pavanputra,” meaning “son of the wind,” as he was born to the wind god Vayu.
