Vanaras in Valmiki Ramayana
In the Valmiki Ramayana, the Vanaras are described as monkeys, with various words like Hari, Kapi, Lavan Gamaa, and Shaakha Murgaa being used interchangeably. While there are many stories about the Vanaras, Valmiki's text indicates that they were actually humans with the same cultural and intellectual roots as city-dwellers. In the narrative, when the Vanaras first appear near Hampi, there is a distinct mention that Hanuman could change his form from a monkey to an ascetic, suggesting that their monkey appearance was not their natural form.
