Iconographic Commentary & Symbolism
Hanuman is the son of Vayu, the God of wind and has immense power to fly to any extent in the sky. He is embodiment of great will power and strength and accomplished the task of locating Sita in the Ravana’s city of Lanka. Here he may be seen flying above the clouds with unflinching commitment to achieve the task assigned to him by God Rama. His devotion towards Rama is unparalled and it is said that wherever the glories of Rama are praised , Hanuman is present there, “Yatra yatra raghunatha kirtanam…”
