Lord Hanuman was born in the Treta Yuga, to Anjana, a female vanara. Hanuman’s mother was actually an Apsara or a Celestial being, and her name was Punjikasthala. Punjikasthala had to suffer from a curse and hence she was born on the earth as a female vanara. Her curse was to be lifted or removed upon the birth of a incarnation of Lord Shiva. Anjana performed continuous prayers to Lord Shiva to beget him as her child. Lord Shiva was pleased from her devotion and granted her the godsend they wanted.  There are a couple of stories told about the birth of Hanuman. The first is that Dasaratha, the king of Ayodhya was performing a Putrakamna Yagya in order to have a child whereas Anjana was conducting prayers to lord Shiva elsewhere. As a result of the Yagya, Dasaratha received sacred puddings which were to be shared by his three wives because of that puddings Rama, Laxman, Bharat and Shatrughan were born. A kite snatched a small fragment of the Puddings and flew over the forest. The kite dropped the puddings in the forest where Anjana was busy praying Shiva. Vayu the Hindu deity of the wind delivered the puddings into the outstretched hands of Anjana who consumed it and as a result Hanuman was born. Another theory is that while Anjana had just completed her penance she encountered the wind god Vayu. God Vayu was lost in the beauty and charm of Anjana and knowing her destiny he made love with her and as a result Hanuman was born, making Lord Vayu father of Hanuman.
