Makardhwaja (or Magardhwaja) is the son of Hindu god Hanuman who is born out of his sweat. Makardhwaja has appearance in various regional versions of the Ramayana. There are many unmatching accounts of his birth, however all of them mentions him being born to a Makara (or Magara) after Hanuman took a dip into the ocean and his sweat drop fell into the mouth of the Makara, impregnating her. Makara begets Makardhwaja who was later raised by the Ahiravana, a demon king who ruled Patala and a brother of Ravana. When Makardhwaja grew up, Ahiravana, seeing Makardhwaja's strength and virility, gave him job of guarding the gates of his kingdom.
