In a caste-based feudal society like India, Hanuman who stands outside the temple facing the street seems more accessible to the masses than his distant master, the royal Ram.’

The venerated monkey-god and problem-solver is one of the most recognizable characters of Hindu mythology. In Hanuman, Ram not only finds a loyal servant and a dependable soldier but also a companion. Whether he is conveying Ram’s message to Sita, or saving Lakshman’s life, Hanuman serves Ram—his one and only master—in every way he can.

Ram’s Companion explores the deep bond between Ram and Hanuman, in Devdutt Pattanaik’s unique style. Read on.
