Hanoman - (Raden) - Ramayana - Mahabharata

Hanoman (Anoman) is also named: 1. Maruti, because he has wind, like Raden Wrekodara and therefore Anoman is also called Wrekodara's brother who has wind powers; 2. Ramadayapati, meaning the one who is recognized as the son of Sri Rama; 3. Bayutanaya, meaning who is said to be Betara Bayu's son; 4. Kapiwara, meaning monkey priest; and 5. Anjaniputra, son of Dewi Anjani.
Anoman began to live in the era of Sri Rama, defending Sri Rama at the time of losing his queen, Dewi Sinta, who was stolen by the monster king Prabu Dasamuka from the country of Alengka. Anoman received an order from Sri Rama to find Dewi Sinta who was hidden by Dasamuka in Alengka in a garden called Taman Arga Soka. Anoman managed to bring Dewi Sinta back to Sri Rama. Arriving in Alengka, Anoman burned Alengka's palace to ashes. Great is Anoman's defense for Sri Rama. Anoman aged to advanced.
After the era of Sri Rama, the Pendawa era arrived, during which Anoman took care of the five Pendawa and resided as a monkey priest in Kendalisada. Anoman is always a place for people to ask difficult questions, because he is considered a vigilant priest.

Anoman with white long eyes, nose and mouth of an ape. The manek lizard bun is connected with its tail that extends from the bottom to cover the bun and is decorated with bracelets. Ringing, popping, and curling. Hoofed like Wrekodara. Monkey-legged. Made of poleng cloth like Wrekodara in the form of complete rattan without a hood. Paint his face and whole body white, indicating that he is a white-tailed macaque.

Anoman's behavior when carrying out Sri Rama's order to look for Dewi Sinta is described as follows:
Java: Anoman jumps already, jumps to the nagasari tree, you can see, you are a skinny woman, the ground is broken, the ribs are damaged.
Indonesia: Anoman had jumped, arrived at the Nagasari tree. Looking down, he saw an emaciated princess, her bun was damaged by the ground, and her ribs were visible.
This saying is widely known in Javanese society.
