in the treta era, various events occur, including the defeat of demons by lord vishnu, which leads to the birth of positive and negative forces. one of the negative forces—the rise of demon dictator ravana—plunges the universe into terror. the birth of god becomes necessary to eliminate the terror of ravana, leading to the birth of two of the most powerful and mutually attached gods: shri rama and hanuman, sons of ayodhya's king dashrath and the ape-headed king kesari respectively. as time passes, the two meet and become close friends. hanuman is a celibate monkey, dedicated friend, and brave warrior. shri ram is an ideal human being and an excellent warrior, whose love for hanuman knows no bounds. shri ram asks hanuman to perform worldly duties until the call of time. as time progresses, events described in valmiki's "ramayan" take place. during the war of lanka, the war skills of human beings and monkeys (along with those of shri rama and hanuman) lead to the end of demon warriors like meghnad, kumbhakarna, and ravan. shri rama ultimately returns to ayodhya, and ramarajya comes into existence.

in various adaptations of the hindu epic "ramayana", kalanemi is maricha's son and one of his ministers. he helped ravana in his war against rama. when lakshmana, rama's younger brother was unconscious in the war and hanuman was asked to fetch "sanjeevani", the magical medicinal herb to revive lakshmana back; ravana tasked kalanemi to stop hanuman. ravana had promised him half his kingdom if he killed hanuman. hanuman flies to himalaya to fetch the herb from the dronagiri mountain (also said to be the gandhamadana mountain.) kalanemi disguised himself as a sage and erected a magical hermitage near a lake to lure hanuman. he invited him to be his guest to take rest and refresh with a bath in the lake and also lured him by saying that he would initiate him to be able to distinguish the right herb. but hanuman refused to take any refreshment but was only interested to take bath in the lake. kalanemi then introduced a crocodile in the lake to kill hanuman. hanuman killed the crocodile which then turned into an "apsara", who was earlier cursed to be a crocodile by sage daksha to be redeemed by hanuman. she informed hanuman of kalanemi's evil plan to delay his reach to lakshmana, who would eventually die if the herb did not reach before the sunrise. hanuman then returned to kalanemi and tied him and set back on his task. in another version it is said that hanuman accosted kalanemi en route when he was on his way to lanka to claim half the kingdom which had been promised by ravana. kalanemi had assumed that the crocodile had killed hanuman. hanuman told kalanemi that he was aware of his true form. he then grabbed kalanemi's feet, swung him around, and threw him across to lanka where he fell before ravana and his ministers.
