Hanuman-Languren oder Hulmane zählen als Kulturfolger und heilige Tiere zu den bekanntesten Affenarten Indiens. Benannt sind sie nach Hanuman, einem indischen Gott in Affengestalt. Sie dürfen nicht verfolgt oder gejagt werden. Deswegen dürfen sie sich auch ganz unbehelligt an den Obststangeboten der Straßenhändler bedienen.

Hanumān est dans l'hindouisme un vanara, héros du Rāmāyaṇa, une épopée qui raconte le périple de Râma. Fils de Pavana, le dieu du vent, et de la déesse Anjanâ, il a l'apparence d'un singe et plus précisément d'un langur à face noire
Il est décrit comme assez fort pour soulever des montagnes, tuer des démons et rivaliser de vitesse avec Garuda, l'oiseau véhicule de Vishnu.
Dans l'hindouisme moderne, c'est un dieu très populaire dans les villages.
Hanumān est le dieu-singe, patron des lutteurs, dieu de la sagesse. Il est souvent représenté avec une massue (gadā). À l'origine Hanumān était le gardien des propriétés et tout fondateur d'un nouveau village se devait d'ériger sa statue.
Hanuman langurs are widely spread across India, during my last trip to India i had a couple nice encounters with these monkeys. Bandipur Tiger Reserve
The Royal Barges are one of Bangkok’s most fascinating sights, housed in sheds in The Royal Barge National Museum on Bangkok Noi Canal on the Thonburi side of the Chao Praya River.
These are not barges in the sense of vessels employed to carry cargo up and down the river but are ornately decorated boats with magnificently carved prows that at one time served a military function. Today they are limited to use in State ceremonies and celebrations.
The most impressive and important of the boats is Suphanahong, the King’s personal barge. Built in 1911 the 46 metre craft was hewn from a single tree and is covered with intricate gilt carvings and colourful pieces of glass, forming an eye-catching mosaic. There is a golden pavilion on board to house the King and his Royal family.
There are several other barges in the museum and on their bows sit a variety of figureheads taken from Thai mythology, the Ramakian. This barge features Hanuman the monkey - minus its ceremonial flagstaffs in either hand.
I shot this while out with buddy neilalderney123 and couldn't resist this post as he also posted today one from our trip.
Gray langurs, sacred langurs, Indian langurs or Hanuman langurs are a group of Old World monkeys native to the Indian subcontinent constituting the entirety of the genus Semnopithecus.
These langurs are largely gray (some more yellowish), with a black face and ears. Externally, the various species mainly differ in the darkness of the hands and feet, the overall color and the presence or absence of a crest. Typically all north Indian gray langurs have their tail tips looping towards their head during a casual walk whereas all south Indian and Sri Lankan gray langurs have an inverted "U" shape or a "S" tail carriage pattern. There are also significant variations in the size depending on the sex, with the male always larger than the female. The head-and-body length is from 51 to 79 cm (20 to 31 in). Their tails, at 69 to 102 cm (27 to 40 in) are never longer than their bodies. Langurs from the southern part of their range are smaller than those from the north. At 26.5 kg (58 lb), the heaviest langur ever recorded was a male Nepal gray langur. The larger gray langurs are rivals for the largest species of monkey found in Asia. The average weight of gray langurs is 18 kg (40 lb) in the males and 11 kg (24 lb) in the females.
Langurs mostly walk quadrupedally and spend half their time on the ground and the other half in the trees. They will also make bipedal hops, climbing and descending supports with the body upright, and leaps. Langurs can leap 3.6–4.7 m (12–15 ft) horizontally and 10.7–12.2 m (35–40 ft) in descending.
The entire distribution of all gray langur species stretches from the Himalayas in the north to Sri Lanka in the south, and from Bangladesh in the east to Pakistan in the west. They possibly occur in Afghanistan. The bulk of the gray langur distribution is within India, and all seven currently recognized species have at least a part of their range in this country.
Gray langurs can adapt to a variety of habitats.They inhabit arid habitats like deserts, tropical habitats like tropical rainforests and temperate habitats like coniferous forests, deciduous habitats and mountains habitats. They are found at sea level to altitudes up to 4,000 m (13,000 ft). They can adapt well to human settlements, and are found in villages, towns and areas with housing or agriculture.They live in densely populated cities like Jodhpur, which has a population numbering up to a million.
Gray langurs are diurnal. They sleep during the night in trees but also on man-made structures like towers and electric poles when in human settlements. When resting in trees, they generally prefer the highest branches.
Ungulates like bovine and deer will eat food dropped by foraging langurs.Langurs are preyed upon by leopards, dholes and tigers.Wolves, jackals, Asian black bears and pythons may also prey on them
Gray langurs are primarily herbivores. However, unlike some other colobines they do not depend on leaves and leaf buds of herbs, but will also eat coniferous needles and cones, fruits and fruit buds, evergreen petioles, shoots and roots, seeds, grass, bamboo, fern rhizomes, mosses, and lichens. Leaves of trees and shrubs rank at the top of preferred food, followed by herbs and grasses. Non-plant material consumed include spider webs, termite mounds and insect larvae.They forage on agricultural crops and other human foods, and even accept handouts. Although they occasionally drink, langurs get most of their water from the moisture in their food.
In one-male groups, the resident male is usually the sole breeder of the females and sires all the young. In multiple-male groups, the highest-ranking male fathers most of the offspring, followed by the next-ranking males and even outside males will father young. Higher-ranking females are more reproductively successful than lower-ranking ones.
Female gray langurs do not make it obvious that they are in estrous. However, males are still somehow able to reduce the reproduction state of females.Females signal that they are ready to mate by shuddering the head, lowering the tail, and presenting their anogenital regions. Such solicitations do not always lead to copulation. When langurs mate, they are sometimes disrupted by other group members. Females have even been recorded mounting other females.
The gestation period of gray langur lasts around 200 days, at least at Jodhpur, India. In some areas, reproduction is year-around. Year-round reproduction appears to occur in populations that capitalize on human-made foods. Other populations have seasonal reproduction.
Infanticide is common among gray langurs. Most infanticidal langurs are males that have recently immigrated to a group and driven out the prior male. These males only kill infants that are not their own.Infanticide is more commonly reported in one-male groups, perhaps because one male monopolizing matings drives the evolution of this trait. In multiple-male groups, the costs for infanticidal males are likely to be high as the other males may protect the infants and they can't ensure that they'll sire young with other males around. Nevertheless, infanticide does occur in these groups, and is suggested that such practices serve to return a female to estrous and gain the opportunity to mate.
Females usually give birth to a single infant, although twins do occur. Most births occur during the night. Infants are born with thin, dark brown or black hair and pale skin. Infants spend their first week attach themselves to their mothers' chests and mostly just suckle or sleep. They do not move much in terms of locomotion for the first two weeks of their life. As they approach their sixth week of life, infants vocalize more.They use squeaks and shrieks to communicate stress. In the following months, the infants are capable of quadrupedal locomotion and can walk, run and jump by the second and third months. Alloparenting occurs among langurs, starting when the infants reach two years of age. The infant will be given to the other females of the group. However, if the mother dies, the infant usually follows.Langurs are weaned by 13 months.
South-Asian Northern plains gray langur a.k.a. Hanuman Langur (Semnopithecus entellus).
Named after the Indian half-god Hanuman, who was a devotee of Lord Rama. He plays a role of a god’s servant in the ancient Sanskrit epic of Hindu mythology, Ramayana.
He is also known as the monkey god.
Statue of Hanuman from the Malai tola village nar Attock. There are many deserted Hindu temples in that area. A local had the statue and just wanted to show me. It looked like an authentic piece.
After months of waiting and hoping nobody paint over it, the car that parked forever thereat in the middle of this masterpiece, finally left.
In Ramayana, the pastime of Lord Rama (incarnation of Lord Krishna) on earth, Hanuman was His devoted servitor.
This wall depicts Hanuman carry a hill from the Himalayas.
The story is Lord Rama was seriously injured in the battlefield whilst attempting to rescue His consort, Sita Devi Who was kidnapped by a demon King Ravana of Lanka (Ceylon / Sri Lanka). Hanuman was ordered by a physician to obtain certain types of herbs available in Himalaya. As Hanuman was unable to recognise the herb therefore, he lifted the whole hill back to the battlefield.
I was fortunate to have documented and seen this masterpiece by #sinnaone from day one to completion. A very friendly artist.
Thank you for viewing. If you like please fav and leave a nice comment. Hope to see you here again. Have a wonderful day 😊

AAW June 6 - 13: Statue or Sculptue
WIT: This is a statue of Hanuman, a Hindu god and divine vanara (monkey) companion to the god Rama. He is viewed as the ideal combination of strength, heroic excellence, and known for his devotion to his personal god, Rama. This is the largest statue of Hanuman in North America. It was a rainy day, and I happened to take advantage of a short break in the rain to take this pic, luckily.

C'était une famille : un couple et leur enfant. L'homme, déguisé, posait complaisamment, pour son épouse ainsi qu'avec les personnes qui le sollicitaient pour des selfies. Le petit, par contre, n'aura guère apprécié son après-midi : il eut préféré jouer que poser pour des photos, il cherchait continuellement à s'échapper, comme ici. Bosquet Nord, Parc de Sceaux
