Did you know what happened to #Hanuman when he went to get Sanjeevani herb
Laxman was hurt after battle with Indrajit,son of Ravana.He was wounded badly &suggested cure was Sanjeevani herb,that grows in Dronagiri hills in Himalayas
Hanuman fly across the ocean n reaches the hills &since he couldn’t identify the specific herb, he uproots the dronagiri hill & brings it back.
He faced many troubles in dronahill,these events are beautifully craved in one of the pillars of Sesharaya mandapa in
Srirangam Temple
Ravana heard from his spies that hanuman has went in search of medicinal herb to save Laxman.
So he sent his uncle Kalanemi to stop Hanuman at any cost. Kalanemi disguises as a Rishi
welcomes hanuman in hills & persuaded Hanuman to have a bath in a pond.
On stepping into pond, hanuman is swallowed by a huge crocodile. Hanuman uses his strength then
tore out the belly of crocodile and emerged unscathed.Crocodile happened to be an apsaras -Dhanyamaali who was cursed by Daksha take this form. Apsaras thanks hanuman.
After this,hanuman was angry that false sage has delayed his quest, goes to Kalanemani & drags him by his hair & beats him to death.The complete story is depicted in this pillar very artistically.
