Vanchi Muthur

Vanchi Muthur

Vanchi was the ancient capital of the Chera kingdom. The Chera were one of the ancient dynasties which ruled parts of present day Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

The actual location of Vanchi is a matter of dispute among historians as evidence point to many places, although the majority view is that it is near the present day Kodungallur town in Thrissur district.:India-hist-stub
