There are a lot of stories about his mischievous  acts during child hood.

Ramayana clearly brings out his prowess. Sita gives him the boon of deathlessness   and  due to his devotion to Rama , he is supposed to be present in all places   where Rama’s   story is told .Thousands of temples   dedicated to him are   seen all over  India.
