This popular myth stems from Hindu folklore, linking monkeys' deaths to a boon from Lord Rama to Hanuman, where vanaras hide and let termites consume them peacefully.

Scientifically, no evidence shows monkeys predict death or seek termite mounds. They often die hidden, bodies scavenged quickly by predators or decomposers. Primates do grieve, but the tale is symbolic, not literal. Fascinating cultural belief!
