Geography Of Alathur
There are many temples located in the village and its surroundings. The village consists of four main streets West street("Melatheru"), South street ("Therkitheru"), Middle street ("Naddutheru") and North street ("Vadakitheru"). These are connected to five other streets: Vadugan Kuthagai, Anna Nagar, Ambedgar Nagar, Chinnwadi and Ottpathai.
The village was formed by the union of two regions, Alathur and Mahadevapuram, each of 700 acres (2.8 km2) which later became the single village of Alathur 1,400 acres (5.7 km2). It is surrounded by Alampallam, Sembaloore, Mullur Pattikadu, Thalikottai, Pulavanji, Ambalapattu and Thittakudi.
A branch of Kallanikalvai (a canal from Cavery River) runs through the centre of Alathur, which is surrounded by irrigation canals and water storage areas such as Pudukulam, Pudu Lake, Veeranar kulam, Sivan kovil kulam, Chetti kulam, Oddai, Nara Panai. This abundance of irrigation supports rice paddies and coconut farms
