Alathiyur, Tirur, Malappuram district, Kerala · 10.8720°, 75.9393°
A temple near Tirur whose presiding deity is Rama but which is known throughout Kerala for its Hanuman shrine; held in trust successively by the Alathiyur Nambudiris, the rulers of Vettathunad and the Zamorin of Kozhikode, it is now the leading temple of the Malabar Devaswom Board.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
The image shows Rama giving Hanuman his instructions before the search for Sita in Lanka, with Hanuman leaning in to listen and Lakshmana standing apart so as not to overhear.
