This recreation of a wooden sculpture of Hanuman is a powerful representation of the profound devotion and selfless love that Hanuman embodied. Hanuman, a devoted and loyal devotee of Lord Rama, is often depicted in this iconic pose. The scene depicted in the sculpture is derived from the epic Indian epic, the Ramayana where Hanuman plays a pivotal role. His loyalty to Lord Rama is exemplified by his leap across the ocean to reach the island of Lanka, where Sita was held captive. Upon reaching Lanka, Hanuman searched for Sita and eventually found her in the Ashoka Grove, where she was imprisoned. Hanuman's devotion to Lord Rama and his desire to bring solace to Sita was so profound that he chose to reveal the divine couple residing in his heart. He rips open his chest to reveal Lord Rama and Sita residing within. The scene is a testament to the idea that true devotion transcends physical boundaries, and the divine resides within the heart of the sincere devotee.
