People feed the monkeys near the holy ancient temple of Maa Chintpoorni.
[Indian culture is indeed exemplary in its nature and form. This is so because the amount of importance that it gives to animals in its daily life. In crudest of the terms,

Hanuman stands for two realizations,, one is latent and the other is patent. It is latent, in the sense that he is worshiped because he helped Lord Ram to defeat the devil Ravana who had enticed Lord Rama's wife Sita. In the great battle Hanuman fought along with his other monkey friends(called as Vanara in Sanskrit) in the battle to ensure Lord Rama's triumph.
I say, it stands for latent realization because Lord Hanumana is symbolic. By worshiping him, Hindus show the respect that humans and animals enjoy to maintain the balance of this mother earth. This is nothing different than what we call "bio-diversity", the conservation of which was envisaged long back and is still followed in Indian culture.}
