Vanchi (Malayalam: വഞ്ചി, translit. Vañci) or Vanchi Muthur was the capital city of Chera dynasty, who ruled Kerala and Kongu Nadu. Karur is referred to Vanchi and later when the capital was changed to Kodungallur the city was renamed as Vanchi.[1][2] It is also referred to as Karuvur in the Sangam literature. The location of the historical city Vanchi is generally considered at Mahodayapuram (also called Thiruvanchikulam) near the ancient port city of Muziris (Kodungallur) in Kerala.[3][4][2]
