This historically and empirically based study presents the rise and
significance of the divine monkey chief Hanuman, who still enjoys
popularity in India today. The first accounts of the Hanuman figure
are to be found in the national epic the Ramayana (approx. 300 BC
200 AD), but the veneration of it has only grown considerably over
the last few centuries. The account opens with a description of a
three-day consecration ritual for a Hanuman cultic figure in
Benares and then proceeds to unfold the historical development of
the divine figure and its veneration from its beginnings up to the
present day. A concluding empirical study illuminates the image of
the divine figure and the motivations of present-day Hanuman
worshippers. The volume contains illustrations and an appendix
which includes a list of some 200 Hanuman temples and shrines
together with selected interviews."
