A drawing of Hanuman, created following the iconography and iconometry of the Vāstu Śipla Śāstras translated and synthesised by Vaidyantha Ganapati Sthapati. Vālmīki, the 5th century BC poet and sage to whom the Ramayana epic is attributed, describes Hanumān as a vanara, meaning "forest dweller", as well as a warrior and a scholar with great knowledge. The virtues and qualities of Hanumān have led many to worship him as a deity. He is known as Sankaṭ Mochan (reliever of troubles), Mahavir (the mightiest hero), the incarnation of Śiva, the Śakti of Rudra, the son of the Wind-God, one of the seven Ciranjīvi (immortals), a personification of Brahmacharya, and an embodiment of selfless service.
