Anggada

Depending on which version of the story to be told Anggada is either the son of Vali (Subali) or Sugriwa. In the most popular Indonesian telling Prabu Sugriwa, became the king of Gua Kiskenda, the kingdom of the monkeys. He and the whole army of monkeys served faithfully to Rama to free Sinta from Alengka. He married to Dewi Tara and had a son Anggada, who became the chief-warrior of the kingdom. In more classic stories he is the son of Vali(Subali) and Tara. Sugriwa is asked to care for him when Rama slays Vali with his arrow. He later became the captain of the army which helped saved Shinta. He served under Hunaman and remained loyal to Rama
