Hanuman is typically depicted as a strong, muscular humanoid with a monkey face and tail.
He has a golden or reddish complexion, symbolizing energy and purity.
Often shown with a mace (gada) and sometimes carrying a mountain (Sanjeevani hill) in one hand.
His chest is sometimes portrayed as torn open to reveal the images of Lord Rama and Sita inside, representing his deep devotion.
