Situated in the small village of Alathiyur of Malappuram district, Althiyur Hanuman Temple is one of the most celebrated Hanuman temples in Malappuram. Believed to be constructed over 3000 years ago, the effigy of Lord Hanuman present in its complex was sanctified by the revered Saptrishi, Guru Vashista. Since Lord Hanuman was the devoted follower of Lord Rama, you can also find the idols of Lord Rama along with his wife, Goddess Sita, and his brothers, Lord Lakshmana and Lord Bharatha. Shrines of these deities are strategically constructed to resemble the glorious scene of the holy epic Ramayana.
