Vanchi was a headquarters of Chera dynasty, who ruled central Kerala and western Tamil Nadu (the Kongu region) in the early historic south India. The exact location of Vanchi is matter of a debate among historians. It is speculated that the location was identical with medieval Vanchi (modern Kodungallur).[1]
The following medieval Chera (Kerala) capitals were also known as "Vanchi".
- Kodungallur - Mahodaya-puram (Makotai) - Thiruvanchikkulam (capital of the Chera/Perumals)[1]
