Thanks, Cynthia! I did some research online and know about his story and relationship to Rama. In the past, I've thought Hanuman was interesting, but never quite thought of him twice. I was more interested in Shiva/Shakti, rather than the Vishnu tradition. Recently, I was getting these images in my mind and found myself mysteriously drawn to Hanuman. After doing a bit of research I found a reference to him being an incarnation of Shiva! I had no idea previously. Right now, his presence makes complete sense to me personally.

Anyways, could you tell me a bit more about appropriate colors for him or specific types of flowers for him? I think I know what ladoos are, but not entirely sure. (A yogurt drink?) After leaving an offering, how long do you keep it there at the altar and what do you do with it afterwards? What particular flavors of sweets does he like? Is there an incense or oil appropriate to him? (Sandalwood?)

Sorry for all the questions, but I would like to do this correctly. Wondering how you have your altar set up? I will try to find the Chalisa online, but maybe it is already in one of the tribe posts here. I'll look...

PS- Hopefully others here can also let me know about other Hanuman associations.

Thanks,
Badger
