Alathiyur Perumthiri(Hanuman) koil

Pray  Lords Hanuman ready  to jump to Lanka  for mental peace

Alathiyur Perumthiri(Hanuman)  koil

Compiled by
P.R.Ramachander



Alathiyur is a  small village   near Tirur of Malappuram district. Here  there is a famous Hanuman temple called as Sree Alathiyur Perumthrikovil

   .Devotees believe that  this Hanuman was consecrated  3000  years back by sage Vasishta  himself.
  The most interesting fact of the temple is it is a Rama temple where  Hanuman is only an Upa devatha. Rama  is without Sita and Hanuman  appears   to be taking orders  from Rama. Devotees  believe  that Lord Rama is sending Hanuman to search for Sita and is telling him the “Abijnana Vakyam( words  for identification) that would  help him to identify  himself to Sita when he locates her. So the face of Hanuman shows concentration and attention. It is interesting to see that Lord Lakshmana  also is not with him   because Lord Rama wants the secret words not to be heard by any one except his emissary. Possibly this is the story  of Indra’s son  attacking Sita as a crow. Sri. Lakshamana is separately  positioned to the west within the temple complex a but a few meters away from Sri Rama,  Outside the periphery of Naalambalam. It is believed that Sri Lakshmana was keeping himself at a small distance away deliberately..

   In the temple there   is also a long granite plantform  , with sea  being indicated at one end, possibly symbolic of the   great mountain platform  from which Hanuman  jumped   to cross the sea.
   This Hanuman is considered as guardian of children  .He is also suppose  remove mental agonies of people just like he removed  the mental agony of Lord Rama.Most of the Malayali families   around the temple pray  before going to bed “Oh dear Hanuman of Alathiyur, Kindly keep bad dreams away from us And if we were to be haunted by bad dreams do please wake us up by gently taping us with your tail.” It is believed that those who recites the verse before going to bed will not have bad dreams”

  The devotees coming to the temple   are encouraged   to run, jump and cross  the granite platfom so that  their children would become more healthy

The Alathiyoor perumthrikkovil temple is special to its devotees for very many reasons. Sri Rama is the presiding deity here. The daily pooja, rituals, offerings by devotees and spectacular annual temple festival – all are held in honour of the presiding deity, Sri Rama. However, the devotees popularly prefer to the temple, the “Hanumankavu” temple. And in a way, it symbolizes the triumph of the supreme strength of bhakthi of Sri Hanuman as an ideal, which overshadows  Sri Rama. maryada purushothaman – he is separated from his beloved consort, Seetha, by the mighty Ravana who has abducted her to Lanka. Sri Rama is seen entrusting Hanuman the impossible task of locating the whereabouts of Seetha. Sri Rama confides to Hanuman about how to look for Seetha in the Lanka. Hanuman, now, only has to cross the vast and formidable sea that separates the Lanka from the main land. 33 crore Gods gathered to witness this significant act. It is an act in which the avathar purush Sri Rama seeks the assistance of his Bhaktha, Hanuman. All the Gods bestow Hanuman with their enormous strength, so that he succeeds in his mission. For Hanuman, this is a very significant moment. And hence, his pre-eminence, at Alathiyoor.

The favorite offering of Sri. Hanuman is “wet avil ( Pothi avil )“ and another important offering is “kadali” plantain.

The temple became  famous  because  of Smt Jayalalitha’s  visit   on the advice of an astrologer .After that very large number of devotees  visit this temple  every day.
The temple  is 6 km away from Tirur   Railway station and 39 km away from Calicut international air port
