After the Mahabharata war, when Arjuna & krishna got down from the former's chariot ,the latter told the former to walk with him some distance away from the chariot. After this was done, the monkey's idol atop Arjuna's chariot came to life and jumped up in the air. Then the horses were burnt alive to ashes and the chariot too exploded. Who was this super-power monkey?

Its stated in Bhagavad Gita 1.20, "kapi-dhvajah"—he whose flag was marked with Hanuman.
"The emblem of Hanumän on the flag of Arjuna is another sign of victory because Hanumän cooperated with Lord Rama in the battle between Räma and Rävaëa, and Lord Räma emerged victorious. Now both Räma and Hanumän were present on the chariot of Arjuna to help him. Lord Krishna is Räma Himself, and wherever Lord Räma is, His eternal servitor Hanumän and His eternal consort Sitä, the goddess of fortune, are present."
