This 53-inch tall statue cast in brass but glass-like finished and polished and more lustrous than an image cast in pure gold, represents the monkey god Hanuman, a divine form that inspires affection as does a loving child, not devotion due to a god. A lovable god, everyone, from a billionaire to a hut-dweller, except the wicked and the evil, loves Hanuman.From a humble brick-structure or a pile of mud to a moderately large structure, Hanuman has dedicated to him thousands of shrines – a far greater number than that of the shrines dedicated to his master Rama. To wicked and evil, even his name – not a rite or full-length hymn, is a terror.
