Hindus propose building ‘monkey god’ statue on grounds of Oklahoma’s state capitol

Lord Hanuman is a popular deity in India. He is revered for his devotion to Lord Rama.

Following close on the heels of a Satanist group, the Universal Society of Hinduism wants to build a statue to Lord Hanuman at the Oklahoma Capitol. The proposals from various religious groups have been popping up after the legislature allowed the construction of a Ten Commandments monument.
