Large Granite Hanuman Garden Statue Seated in Full Lotus Pose 71"

Hanuman is seated with his left hand resting in his lap in a position of meditation with his right hand reaching down towards the ground in a mudra more closely associated with the Buddha; the earth touching gesture. On the base are carved three symbols associated with Lord Vishnu; a discus and conch with Vishnu's vehicle, the eagle King Garuda in the middle.  On Hanuman's forehead is a "V" shaped tilaka.  A tilaka is a vaishnavite ritual mark meaning holy mud.  It is applied on the foreheads of devotees of Lord Vishnu.  Vishnu also wears the symbol on His forehead.
Devotees apply it as a mark of respect to Lord Vishnu, denoting they are holding His Lotus Feet on their forehead.

Hanuman known also as Anjaneya, is one of the most important personalities in the epic, the Ramayana. He is a vanara or "human with the tail of a monkey" who aided Lord Rama, an avatar of Vishnu, in rescuing His consort, Sita, from the Rakshasa king Ravana.  Hanuman is renown for his faithful and steadfast service to Rama as told in the Ramayana epic in which Hanuman played an active part.  Some consider Hanuman to be an incarnation of Lord Shiva.
