Alathiyoor Sri Hanuman Swamy Temple — Attraction in Kerala

It is believed that Alathiyoor Perumthikovil (Hanuman Kavu) Temple was erected and consecrated by Sage Vasishta, who is prominent among the Saptarshis, some 3000 years ago. Long ago, the Alathiyoor Grama Namboodiri was in possession of this Temple. Afterwards it was taken over by Vettath Raja. A little later, the Zamorin Raja of Kozhikode took over the management of this temple. Presently, the temple continues to be administered by His Highness Zamorin Raja of Calicut.

The temple of Sri Hanuman is adjacent to the main temple of Sri Rama, who is the presiding deity. Sri Hanuman stands leaning a little towards the left, symbolic of how he hears his master’s words. Sri Rama is confiding in Hanuman the cue-word ( Abhignana Vaakyam ) that would enable him to gain the confidence of Sita. Hanuman has a mace in his hand. All the Gods blesses Lord Hanuman with all their powers. He is all set to accomplish his mission of finding out the whereabouts of Devi Sita. Here he is the personification of divine strength, confidence, concentration of purpose, Bhakti, and above all humility. He is the symbol of supreme self-sacrifice. He seems to be assuring Sri Rama: “Your wish is my command”. Devotees of Hanuman visit the temple to make their wishes fulfilled and be heard by the mighty Hanuman.

Visiting the Alathiyur Hanuman Temple was one of the most spiritually uplifting experience, situated in Alathiyur, near Tirur in Malappuram district, Kerala, this ancient temple believed to be over 3,000 years old is one of the most frequently visited by devotees. One of the temple’s most remarkable features is the idol of Lord Hanuman, said to have been consecrated by Sage Vasishtha. The idol shows Hanuman leaning forward in deep devotion, as though attentively listening to Lord Rama’s instructions before setting off on his legendary journey to Lanka in search of Sita. Adding to the temple’s uniqueness is a beautifully crafted granite structure symbolising Hanuman’s leap across the ocean. At one end is a large black stone representing the sea. Devotees run along this ridge and leap over the stone, reenacting Hanuman’s leap—a ritual believed to bring good luck, health, and prosperity. In addition to Rama and Hanuman, the temple is also home to other deities including Lakshmana, Ganesha, Maha Vishnu, Durga, Bhadrakali, Ayyappan, and serpent deities (Nagas). The temple’s architecture reflects traditional Kerala style, rich in cultural and spiritual heritage. The temple is currently managed by a trust under the Malabar Devaswom Board, with the Samuthiri (Zamorin) serving as the Chief Trustee. The main offering here is Aval (sweetened beaten rice), which is considered highly auspicious.
