Revered as the deity of courage and strength, Lord Hanuman is an incarnation of Lord Shiva. Even though we feel we know a lot about him, there are still a few facts that are to be discovered. We have curated a list of some interest facts about our dear Pawanputra that are unknown to most of you guys.
The ‘vermilion’ incident
Lord Hanuman’s love for Lord Rama needs no introduction. We are sure every devotee is well aware of the fact that Lord Hanuman loved and respected Lord Rama unconditionally. To prove this love, he once coated his body with vermilion dye (sindoor) and Lord Rama offered a boon that whoever would worship Hanuman with vermilion powder would part ways with his/her difficulties.

Lord Bhima is the brother of Lord Hanuman
Bhima is also the son of the Lord of Winds (Vayudev). Their mother Anjana was blessed by Lord Shiva wherein he told Vayudev to bring the divine pudding that Dasharatha’s queens were consuming. Right after she ate the pudding, Bhima and Hanuman were born. Since, the pudding was brought by Vayudev, he is the father of Hanuman and Lord Bhima.
