Is Hanuman a vanara?
Could you please clarify for me if Hanuman, the character from Hindu mythology and the epic Ramayana, is indeed classified as a vanara? Vanaras are often depicted as ape-like creatures with human-like qualities, and I'm curious if Hanuman fits into this category, given his mythical status and his abilities. It would be helpful to understand if he is indeed considered a vanara, and if so, what that means in the context of his story and the broader Hindu mythology.
