Alathiyoor Hanuman Temple

The Alathiyur Hanuman Temple, located in Malappuram district, Kerala, is a revered spiritual site with a rich history that dates back over 3,000 years. Legend has it that the temple's chief deity, Hanuman, was installed by Sage Vasistha, one of the great sages of the Rig Veda. Although the temple is dedicated to Lord Sree Rama and Bharatha from the epic Ramayana, it is famously known as a Hanuman temple, highlighting the deep bond between Hanuman and Lord Rama.

Situated in the scenic village of Alathiyur, the temple is a spiritual center for devotees who come from far and wide to seek blessings. The temple complex is believed to have been under the governance of the Grama Namboodiri before being taken over by Vattath Raja, and eventually, during the Zamorin rule, the administration passed to the Zamorin Raja of Kozhikode, who continues to oversee it today.
