Description of painting of Hanuman
Lord Rama and his brother Laxman, along with their army of monkeys, were fighting the war with Ravana. Laxman gets injured by a powerful weapon hurled by Indrajit, Ravana’s son. Laxman becomes unconscious as the injury was almost fatal. People requested Hanuman to get the magical herb Sanjeevani, which has the power to revive even a dead person. Hanuman will be instructed to get the Sanjeevani herb from the mountain Sumeru (Mount Dronagiri range) in the Himalayas. Hanuman, with his strength and mystical powers, goes to the Mountain Sumeru. After reaching there , he fails to identify the herb. So, he lifts the whole mountain and brings it to the battlefield.
