Many of us might have seen the Hanumaan statue at Hanumaan Dhoka and the same at Patan Durbar Square
So, we may wonder that while sindoor is for the women why Hanumaan – a male monkey - put it on his body.
Everybody is aware of the dedication of Hanumaan towards Lord Rama. People give example of Hanumaan when they see a person highly devouted to somebody. The term ‘Hanumaan’ is highly used in politics to denote the workers loyal to some leaders of higher position.
Once Hanumaan saw mother Sita applying sindoor on her forhead. He asked promptly why she was putting sindoor on her forehead. He wanted to know what, exactly, was the reason behind it. Mother Sita told Hanumaan that by putting the sindoor on she is wishing her husband – Lord Rama- a long life.
When Hanumaan knew the reason behind the sindoor, he collected a large quantity of it and applied it all over his body. Thus, showing his wish for the long and prosperous life of Lord Rama.
Even today people remember Hanumaan’s loyalty and dedication to Lord Rama and they praise and worship it. They worship Hanumaan, too. The statues decorated in sindoor outside the Hanumaan dhoka and Patan palace are the proof to it.
Its a new information about the Hanuman and Sindoor. I like the story...
ReplyDeletehi bro, you made a mythological interpretation of'sindur'or red color, but let me offer post modern manipulation of it. As it is obvious that red color is the sign of dager,or emergency,when we see red color we come to know that something is wrong like: red light in traffic doesn't let us go; red siren in ambulance, police van, fire vehicle signal something wrong has taken place or going to take place. moreover,fire extinguishers in every building are in red color, red sign out side the operation theater,fight becomes terrible when blood sheds,unpleasant saying: they were caught redhanded, you are in the red list, he grew red due to his anger, red letter on envelope with red starp around it carries death news, these are few out of many.let me sum up yar,the red dress that women wear in the marriage is the most danger object that ivites immediate peril.when bridegroom finds new bride decorated in red dress and sitting on the bed waiting impatiently for her 'victim', first, red color alerts him 'don't go beta', he knows that he is going to enter a ' danger zone' but can't hold himself and jumps in the red pond,as a result, regrets through out the life waiting for green light to salvage himself but that opportunity never comes.so far as the hanuman ko statue is concerned at basantapur durbar, that also signals danger,it says now 'danger ilaka of sainik, begins, don't come near to me, once u enter you maynot come outside intact. so everybody must take a double take before entering red ilaka.
