There is no specific code number associated with Hanuman Ji in Hindu tradition or practice. Code numbers are not typically used in religious contexts to represent deities.

It is possible that someone may have created an unofficial or symbolic code number for Hanuman Ji within a specific group or context, but this would not be a widely recognized or established practice.

The concept of the Panchayat, a traditional village council in India, holds a revered position due to several factors:

  1. Historical Significance: Panchayats have ancient roots in Indian history, dating back to Vedic times. They have served as the cornerstone of local governance and dispute resolution for centuries. indianculture.gov.in
  2. Community Representation: The word "Panchayat" literally means "council of five" (panch means five). Traditionally, these councils comprised respected elders chosen by the community to represent their interests.
  3. Justice and Fairness: Panchayats were responsible for settling disputes, administering justice, and maintaining social harmony within the village. Their decisions were generally based on customary law, consensus, and a commitment to fairness.
  4. Self-Governance: Panchayats embodied the concept of self-governance and village autonomy. They empowered communities to manage their own affairs and resources, reducing dependence on external authorities.
  5. Ethical Values: The panchayat system was often associated with ethical values such as honesty, integrity, and impartiality. Panchayat members were expected to act in the best interests of the community and uphold moral principles.

Even today, the idea of the Panchayat remains a symbol of local governance, community participation, and social justice in India, deeply embedded in the cultural and political landscape.
