Hanuman is the mightiest, wisest, swiftest, and greatest devotee of Rama (incarnation of Vishnu) celebrated in the epic Ramayana. He played a key role in rescuing Rama’s wife Sita (incarnation of Lakshmi) abducted by demonic King Ravana. Hanuman is worshipped as the embodiments of strength, tenacity, tact, agility, and devotion. He is son of vayu, the god of wind. Special events in the temple include: Singing “Hanuman Chalisa” (forty verses) on Tuesdays and “Sundarkand” (a section of Ramayan on his adventures in Lanka to find Sita and evaluate enemy’s strength) on 3rd Sundays.
