'''Alamarathupatti''' is the name of a village 4 km from [[Thiruthangal]] and 6 km from [[Sivakasi]] in [[Virudunagar]] District, [[Tamil Nadu]]. Alamarathupatti is surrounded by other villages like Sengamalapatti, Naranapuram, Chellaiyanaiyakanpatti and towns Thiruthangal and Sivakasi.

The village has a [[Krishna]] temple and [[Kali]] temple, and one ''Sacred Fig (Arasa Maram)'': it is a very old tree though the age is not yet estimated. The main village festival is celebrated by the people very enthusiastically around April. During this time temple deities Narayana and Nachiyar are brought in a Pallaku (Tamil) from Thiruthangal for a day's pooja here and another day in the nearby village of Naranapuram. The Pallaku is carried by the villagers all the way from Thiruthangal to the village.
This village also has a temple for Ganesh, or "{{transl|ta|Mukku Pillayar Kovil}}" in Tamil, at the entrance of the village. Traditionally, the people would go here to pray for a good start when setting out on new ventures or actions.

Notes: There is another Alamarathupatti, a village of [[Kolathur, Salem|Kolathur]] block in [[Salem district]].
