Culture

[edit]

Alathiyur village is a predominantly Muslim populated area with a Hindu minority. Duff Muttu, Kolkali and Aravanamuttu are common folk arts of this locality. The numerous libraries attached to mosques provide a rich source for Islamic study; most of the books are written in Arabi-Malayalam which is a version of the Malayalam language written in Arabic script. People gather in mosques for the evening prayer and remain there afterwards discussing social and cultural issues. Business and family issues are also sorted out during these evening meetings. The Hindu minority likewise follows their rich traditions, celebrating various festivals in their temples. Hindu rituals are done here with a regular devotion as in other parts of Kerala.[1]
