This is an important Land mark of Alathur and is referred with reverence and respect only. This hillock is believed to be a part of the SANJEEVANI MOUNTAIN, that fell off the hands of Lord Hanuman while he flew past this area; thus the name Vizhu mala( the mountain that fell).

Elders living in this area are of the opinion, this hillock has very unique and precious herbs as being the part of Sanjaeevani Mountain ( Mountain of Herbs). They even say if roots are used of the herbs fetched from other parts, shoots of the herb has to be used of the herb fetched from this place as the mountain fell upside down. Only qualified Ayurvedic Acharyas could vouchsafe this.
