It’s said that when Lord Hanuman was younger, he thought the sun looked like a ripe mango. He attempted to devour it as a result, turning the ground black. Then, in an attempt to preserve the universe, Lord Indra struck Lord Hanuman’s jaw, disfiguring it with his vajra. That is the origin of Lord Hanuman’s name.
All of Lord Rama’s followers were invited to go with him to paradise when he ascended. Lord Hanuman, however, refused, stating that reciting the name of Rama is more pleasant than being in paradise.

In order to safeguard the followers of Lord Rama who recite the Lord’s name, Lord Hanuman chose to remain on Earth.
Lord Hanuman vehemently opposed Lord Yama’s plan to capture Lord Rama and transport him to paradise. He acted as a barrier, blocking Lord Yama’s access to Ayodhya. Lord Rama then had to deceive Lord Hanuman in order to grant Lord Yama entry.
Lord Hanuman once saw Goddess Sita putting sindoor on her forehead in order to prolong the life of Lord Rama. To save Lord Rama’s life, Lord Hanuman thus covered his whole body with sindoor. That’s how the name Bajrang Bali was given to him.
