This mountain served as their refuge and where the crucial alliance between Rama and Sugriva was formed.

During Hanuman's flight to Lanka, Mount Mainaka rose from the ocean depths to offer him a resting place, as a gesture of respect and thanks.

Anjana performed severe penance to beget Hanuman as a son, who would be an avatar of Lord Shiva.
