Also used to mean: golden-bodied
Hemang (हेमांग) is Sanskrit hemāṅga, "having golden limbs", from hema, "gold", and aṅga, "limb" or "body". Monier-Williams records it as an adjective meaning golden, and as a noun for the champak tree with its golden flowers, a lion, the golden mountain Meru, and as a name of Brahmā, Vishnu and Garuḍa. The popular gloss, "golden-bodied", is the literal meaning. The feminine form is Hemangi.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Vishnu.
