Anang, according to Indian mythology, is an epithet of Kam, because he once became bodyless.

When he went to Shiv to disturb him during his penance, Shiv opened his third eye and burnt him to ashes.

Kam had a purpose in doing so. He wanted to fill love in his heart so that he may marry Parvati in order to induce birth of a deliverer of gods from a demon Tarak.

There was another Anang who became a king. He was son of sage Kardam.

He had a son named Atibal.

In the Ramayan, there was a Vanar Chief (monkey chief) who accompanied the team led by Angad to the south.
