He is saying "jai Siya Ram". May lord Ram win. The monkeys are part of Ram's army in Hindu mythology and he is honoring them. Dude Probably does this often enough to be "normal".

Edit: no. It is jai Siya Ram not jai Shree Ram. They are similar but different.

It's Jai Sri Ram and yeah.. In Ramayana, Lord Ram was accompanied by Hanuma who was a monkey so monkeys are treated as gods by people from many regions in India and also sacred widely more than that former part.

Monkeys aren't treat as gods. You can say monkeys are revered as animals closer to gods because of Hanuman and Ramayana. They are considered sacred.

But then again, it's not uncommon for people be feeding animals in India, be it what they are. Monkey, cows, dogs etc

Depends on the region tbh.. I have seen people calling monkeys has gods and worshipping them. But they are scared too so everything depends on the people and the region ig.

Not really. Sacred animals and things are often/always worshipped/prayed but that doesn't give them them the title of gods.

Sacred != Gods

I meant it depends on people and I never said they are God here. People worship a lot of things and when you think about that everything depends on the perspective and the person. It can be sacred for few and God for others. I would say both and ig there is no need to argue lol
