A monkey is believed to be the mythological figure of Hanuman from the Ramayana.
Monkey visited mandir after Pran Pratishtha
The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust revealed that a monkey entered the innermost sanctuary of the Ram Mandir a day after the Pran Pratishtha ceremony.
They likened this occurrence to "Hanuman ji himself coming to see Ram lalla."
But this is not a unique visit by Lord Hanuman to the temple - in fact, stories of monkeys visiting Ram temples around the country have flooded social media since quite some time now.
Not interested in food, but just in Lord Rama
A video posted on January 31 on X showed a monkey visiting the Ram Temple in Lonavala, Maharashtra.
The report mentioned that the monkey, upon entering the temple, refrained from touching the bananas or any offered food.
Instead, it promptly sat beside Shri Ram, touched the feet of Lord Shri Ram, and then departed.
People can be heard chanting, "Jai shree Ram", "Jai Shree Hanuman" in joy.

"Jay Shree Ram, Jay Veera Hanuman," read one comment.
The revered Hindu God Hanuman
Hanuman was born to Vayu, the wind god, and Anjana, a celestial nymph. Anjana incurred a sage's wrath, resulting in a curse that transformed her into a monkey.
Upon seeking forgiveness, the sage relented, stating that she would revert to her original form after giving birth to a son destined for great renown. This tale explains the peculiar transformation of the son of the wind god and a nymph into a monkey.
