Alathiyur Hanuman Temple is a famous Hindu temple located at Alathiyur near Tirur, Malappuram district, Kerala state, India. Over the years the "custodians" of the temple were Alathiyur Grama Namboodiri, king of Vettam, and Samoothiri of Kozhikode.[1] According to local myths, the "Purumthrikkovil idol" of the deity Hanuman was consecrated by Vasistha, one of the Saptarishis, 3000 years ago. Even though the main deity of the temple is Hindu god Rama the temple is famous and known as a "Hanuman temple".
