But I was not able to find any relating pictures for this on the net.

It is the lord Hanuman, the monkey god, one of the most popular Hindu deities; he is the monkey-god, patron of wrestlers and acrobats, of martial arts but also god of wisdom and meditation. He is often depicted with a club.

It represents inner control, faith, and complete devotion to a cause. What characterizes him is his total and permanent fidelity to Rama, his spiritual master. He contributed mightily to the triumphs of Rama, and consequently he has his share of the homage paid to this conquering god.

His prowess is recounted in the Ramayana, that is to say "the Gesture of Rama": a mythological epic in Sanskrit language composed between the 3rd century BC. AD and the 3rd century AD. Consisting of seven chapters and 24,000 verses, the Ramayana is, like the Mahabharata, one of the fundamental texts of Hinduism and Hindu mythology. The poem is traditionally attributed to the legendary hermit Valmiki.

Hanuman is not only a formidable warrior, legend has it that he was a poet, and that he celebrated the exploits of Rama in verse engraved on rock. It is claimed that Valmiki, author of the Ramayana, after reading this poem, wanted to sacrifice his own work. The generous monkey then threw the engraved stones into the sea.

Thank you for your valuable knowledge and time
