The Hindu deity Hanuman is an ardent devotee of Rama, a central character in the Indian epic Ramayana. A general among the vanaras, an ape-like race of forest-dwellers, Hanuman is an incarnation of the divine and a disciple of Lord Sri Rama in the struggle against the demon king Ravana.<br/><br/> This image of Hanuman, originating from Prasat Chen, Koh Ker, in the 10th century, is presumed to have been looted by persons unknown during the Second Indochina War, between 1968 and 1972. It was returned to Cambodia by Cleveland Museum of Art after evidence of the original pedestal for the statue was uncovered at Koh Ker in 2014.
Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring boiling hot water over cured leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The term also refers to the plant itself. After water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world. It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavour which many people enjoy.<br/><br/> Consumption of tea (especially green) is beneficial to health and longevity given its antioxidant, flavanols, flavonoids, polyphenols, and catechins content. Tea catechins have known anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities, help to regulate food intake, and have an affinity for cannabinoid receptors, which may suppress pain, nausea, and provide calming effects.<br/><br/> Consumption of green tea is associated with a lower risk of diseases that cause functional disability, such as stroke, cognitive impairment, and osteoporosis in the elderly.<br/><br/> Tea contains L-theanine, and its consumption is strongly associated with a calm but alert and focused, relatively productive (alpha wave dominant), mental state in humans. This mental state is also common to meditative practice.
