哈奴曼是印度史诗《罗摩衍那》中的主人公之一，在该著作中哈努曼是一个机智勇敢，十分忠诚的一位神将，他法力无边，腾云驾雾，帮助罗摩征服了罗波那魔王，营救了罗摩的妻子-悉多，他是备受尊崇的神猴。哈奴曼虽起于印度，但他在东南亚地区仍然有着巨大的影响力。哈奴曼形象也随着《罗摩衍那》的故事在泰国广为流传。在泰国衍生出本土戏剧《拉玛坚》，其中也描述了一位名为“哈奴曼”的神猴，这无疑是从《罗摩衍那》故事中演变而来的。在泰国，哈奴曼广受民众爱戴敬仰，是当地民众最喜爱的形象之一。在泰国许多地方都能欣赏到有关哈奴曼的绘画，雕塑，戏剧等。泰国哈奴曼形象虽是以印度《罗摩衍那》为原型，但他也有着更“人性化”的一面。泰国哈奴曼形象虽也有神的优良品性，但也更侧重于人性的世俗化。哈奴曼形象的世俗化与泰国本土社会有着密切的联系。

Hanuman is one of the main characters in the Hindu epic Ramayana, in which Hanuman is a wise, brave, and loyal general who, with great power and great power, helps Rama conquer the evil Lord Rabona and rescue Rama's wife, Siddhartha, a revered divine monkey. Although Hanuman originated in India, he still has a huge influence in Southeast Asia. The image of Hanuman is also widely circulated in Thailand along with the story of the Ramayana. In Thailand, the local drama Ramajian was spawned, which also depicts a deity monkey named Hanuman, which is undoubtedly an evolution from the Ramayana story. In Thailand, Hanuman is widely loved and admired by the people, and is one of the local people's favorite images. Paintings, sculptures, plays and more about Hanuman can be seen in many places in Thailand. Although the image of Thai Hanuman is based on the Indian Ramayana, he also has a more "human" side. Although the image of Thai Hanuman also has the excellent character of God, it also focuses more on the secularization of human nature. The secularization of Hanuman image is closely related to Thai native society.
