The deity once applied sindoor all over his body for Lord Rama’s long life.
A particular incident was when Sita put sindoor on her forehead, a sign of her unconditional love and respect. Hanuman then covered his entire body with sindoor to prove his love for Lord Rama.

The name, 'Hanuman' actually means 'disfigured jaw' in Sanskrit.
In Sanskrit, Hanu means 'Jaw' and Man means 'Disfigured'. No wonder, Hanuman’s jaw as a kid was disfigured by none other than Lord Indra who had used his vajra against Anjaneya, who took sun as a ripened mango.

Lord Hanuman had a son - Makardhwaja.
Makardhwaja was born to a mighty fish of the same name when Hanuman after burning the entire Lanka had dipped in the sea to cool off his body. It is said that his sweat was swallowed by the fish and thus Makardhwaja was conceived

Lord Ram issued a death sentence to Lord Hanuman!
Once, Narada known for creating disharmony between Ram and Hanuman asked Hanuman to greet all the sages except Vishwamitra, since he was a King once.
Hanuman did so, but it did not affect Vishwamitra.

Hanuman did so, but it did not affect Vishwamitra.
Narada went on and instigated Vishwamitra, which angered him so much that he went to Ram and asked him to punish Hanuman to death. Vishmamitra being his guru, Ram could not ignore his command and punished Hanuman to death by arrows.
Next day in the field, the statement was to be executed, but all arrows failed to do any harm to Hanuman as he kept chanting Ram!
Since Ram had to abide by his Guru’s word, he decided to use the Brahmastra. To the surprise of all, Hanuman’s chants of Ram even failed the most powerful Brahmastra! Seeing this, Narada went to Vishwamitra and confessed his mistake, stopping the ordeal!
