Kesari is a male vanara, and a figure in Hindu mythology.
[2] While Kesari resided in Mount Meru, Brahmā cursed an apsara named Managarva, and turned her into a vanara.
In Shaiva tradition, Shiva was requested to beget a son to help Vishnu, who was about to incarnate as Rama to slay Ravana.
When Vayu appeared, the couple made their presence known, and Parvati revealed the child inside her.
As Shiva had instructed, Parvati offered the child to Vayu, who transferred it to Anjana's womb, who gave birth to Hanuman.
