[ + ] Dunagiri

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As per the history we know, in the Lanka war, Lakshmana was mortaly wounded. The

Sanjeevani

herb was needed to revive him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hanuman picks up whole hill of medicinal herbs

 

 

 

 

Hanuman brings hill with herbs to Sushena who treats and revives Lakshmana

 

Not that well known is the story that, Hanuman then returns the hill to its original place after use, on the same night, before dawn.

 

 

 

 

 

The boulders, stones, etc. of Dunagiri fell in many places enroute. Hence the complete hill was not returned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dunagiri - Uttarakhand: In the Gandha Madhana mountains, now known as Dunagiri, there lies a scar on the side of Dunagiri where Hanuman sliced off a big chunk. In most re-tellings of Ramayana, after the medicines were used, Hanuman flies again to replace the mountain in its rightful place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to Dunagiri local folk lore, Hanuman failed to return full hill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because of his failure to keep up his word local villagers refuse to take the

temple

prasad at village's annual festival.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the medicinal plants on Hanuman's list, Visalyakarani, in Samskrit meaning " removing spikes & arrows. " - Found in Dunagiri

[ + ] Nasik

 

The name 'Nasik' has a historical origin. Lakshmana cut off Surpanaka's nose here. That is why the place is called 'Nasik' - from 'Nas' meaning 'nose'.

 

 

 

Sita Gufa

is an underground cave labyrinth in which Sita hid herself when Ravana came to abduct her.

 

Panchavati is derived from

Pancha and Vati, meaning, 5 Vata Peepal trees, i.e., a Peepal tree grove.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[ + ]

Kishkinda

 

 

 

 

Kishkinda is near Hampi in modern day Karnataka. Anjanadri near Hospet is the birthplace of Hanuman Anjaneya. Sugriva lived in Rishyamukha on the banks of the Pampa Tungabhadra.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the British records of the gazette of Bellary district, which is very near modern day Hampi, or Kishkinda of earlier times, the then collector has noted that the forest tribes of that area call themselves the Vanara people, and used Monkey as a symbol in their totem pole and flag.

 

This vanara totem in Bellary District Gazetteer is to the right.

 

The Jaina Ramayana also mentions a banner of the Vanara, Vanaradhvaja, vanara flag
