sculpture of Hanuman comes from northern part of
India. Hindus believe in ten avatars of Lord Vishnu.
One of Vishnu's avatars is Lord Rama, who was created
to destroy the evil Ravana. In order to aid Lord Rama,
Lord Shiva incarnated as a monkey, and was born as
Hanuman to Anjana, by the blessings of Pavana Deva,
who thus became Hanumans Godfather. Hanuman selected
Surya, the sun god as his teacher, and approached him
with the request to teach the scriptures...
