In India, monkeys, particularly the langur and the rhesus macaque, are often considered sacred due to their association with Hindu deities, especially Hanuman, the monkey god who symbolizes strength, loyalty, and devotion. Hanuman's role in the epic Ramayana elevates the status of monkeys in Hindu culture, leading to their reverence in many communities. Additionally, in various traditions, monkeys are seen as protectors of sacred spaces and are often left unharmed in temples and other religious sites. This cultural significance fosters a reverence that translates into their protection and respect in society.
