Vanchi was a headquarters of Chera dynasty, who ruled central Kerala and western Tamil Nadu (the Kongu region) in the early historic south India.[1][2] The exact location of Vanchi is matter of a debate among historians.[3] It is speculated that the location was identical with medieval Vanchi Karur (modern Karur).[3][2]
The following medieval Chera (Kerala) capitals were also known as "Vanchi".
- Vanchi Karur or Karuvur[2] - present-day Karur (capital of the Kongu Cheras or Keralas)[3][2]
- Kodungallur - Mahodaya-puram (Makothai) - Thiruvanchikkulam (capital of the Chera Perumals)[3][2]
