{{Hinduism}}'''Alathiyur Hanuman Temple''' is a famous [[Hindu temple]] located at [[Alathiyur, Malappuram|Alathiyur]] near [[Tirur]], [[Malappuram district]], [[Kerala state]], [[India]]. Over the years the "custodians" of the temple were Alathiyur Grama Namboodiri, the Raja of the [[Kingdom of Tanur]] (Vettathunad), and [[Samoothiri]] of [[Kozhikode]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Sri Lankan PM arrives on a day's visit to Kerala.|publisher= The Press Trust of India |date=22 August 2003|url= http://www.accessmylibrary.com/premium/0286/0286-4472380.html}}</ref> According to local myths, the "Purumthrikkovil idol" of the deity [[Hanuman]] was consecrated 3000 years ago by [[Vasistha]], one of the [[Saptarishi]]s. Even though the main deity of the temple is [[Hindu god]] [[Rama]] the temple is famous and known as a "Hanuman temple". The shrine of Hanuman is located to the south of Rama temple, and there are sub-shrines for [[Ganapathi]], [[Ayyappan]], [[Durga]], [[Bhadrakali]] and [[Lakshamana]] in the temple.<br />

==Abode of Hanuman==<br />
<br />
The temple of Sri Hanuman is adjacent to the main Temple of Sree Rama. Sree Hanuman has his head tilted to left (to Rama's Adobe), to hear his master’s words.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.alathiyoorhanumankavu.com/abtTemple.asp |title=Archived copy |access-date=28 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304225228/http://alathiyoorhanumankavu.com/abtTemple.asp |archive-date=4 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Sree 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. The numerous Gods bestowed their enormous power on Sree Hanuman. He is all set to accomplish his mission, which is seeking the whereabouts of 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 Sree Rama: "Your wish is my command". Devotees of Hanuman throng to this temple to make their wishes and be heard by the mighty Hanuman.<br />
<br />
As the situation in Ramayana, [[Lakshmana]] is away from Rama and Hanuman so that he can't be hearing the cue-word.<br />
