==Culture==<br />
West Chathalloor village is a predominantly Muslim populated area. Hindus exist in comparatively smaller numbers. So the culture of the locality is based upon Muslim traditions. [[Kolkali]] is a common folk art of this locality. There are many libraries attached to streets giving a rich source of art studies. Most of the books are written in [[Malayalam and English]]. People gather in mosques for the evening prayer and continue to sit there after the prayers discussing social and cultural issues. Business and family issues are also sorted out during these evening meetings. The Hindu minority of this area keeps their rich traditions by celebrating various festivals in their temples. Hindu rituals are done here with a regular devotion like other parts of Kerala.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.malappuram.net/art-and-culture.htm|title=Malappuram News, Malappuram District Map, Malappuram Muslim, Malappuram Hospitals, Malappuram College, Malappuram Directory|website=Malappuram.net|accessdate=17 March 2019}}</ref><br />
