M.Shreedhara Murthy

There is no village in India without a temple of Hanumantha. In bigger towns and cities, there are countless temples of Hanumantha. Men and women, the young and the old, people of all ages and of all professions worship Hanumantha. Students pray to him for intelligence and soldiers for strength. In olden days there used to be temples of Hanumantha at the gates of forts. The gymnasiums of wrestlers invariably have his picture.
