Alathiyur Hanuman Temple, also called Alathiyur Perumthrikkovil, stands between the Ponnani river and the Bharathappuzha at Alathiyur, near Tirur in the Malappuram district of Kerala. The main deity is Rama, but Hanuman is as celebrated here as the presiding deity; Lakshmana, Ganesha, Vishnu, Durga, Bhadrakali and Ayyappan are also worshipped. Tradition says the image of Hanuman was consecrated by the sage Vasishtha. Over time the temple was in the care of the Alathiyur Nambudiris, the kings of Vettathunad and the Zamorin of Kozhikode. Aval, beaten rice, is the main offering, and the annual festival falls in the month of Thulam (October–November).
