Family

• Kesari(spouse),Hanuman(child)— Marriage · Miraculous

  Kesari, a vanara chief, married Anjana, and their son Hanuman was born through the grace of Vayu, who carried divine prasad to Anjana.

  ⚠ The Uttara Kanda names Kesari as father, while the Kishkindha Kanda and Shiva Purana emphasize Vayu's direct paternity — traditions vary on whether Kesari is biological or nominal father.

• Vayu(spouse),Hanuman(child)— Consort · Miraculous

  Vayu and Anjana are the parents of Hanuman. Vayu carried divine prasad to Anjana, and from this blessed food Hanuman was born with the wind god's powers.

  ⚠ The Uttara Kanda of the Valmiki Ramayana names Kesari as Hanuman's father through Anjana, with Vayu's role varying between divine father and bestower of blessings across traditions.
