[[Kingdom of Valluvanad|Valluvanad]] was an erstwhile princely state in the present state of [[Kerala]], that extended from the [[Bharathappuzha]] river in the South to the ''Panthaloor Mala'' in the North.<ref name="princelystatesofindia1"/> On the west, it was bounded by the [[Arabian Sea]] at [[Ponnani]] and on the east by the [[Attappadi]] Hills during their zenith in the early Middle Ages.<ref name="princelystatesofindia1"/> The capital of erstwhile [[Kingdom of Valluvanad|Valluvanad]] was at the present-day town of [[Angadipuram]].<ref name="princelystatesofindia1"/> Valluvanad was ruled by a [[Samanthan Nair]] clan known as [[M. K. Vellodi|Vellodi]]s, similar to the [[Eradi]]s of neighbouring [[Eranad]] and [[Nedungadi]]s of [[Ottapalam|Nedunganad]]. The rulers of Valluvanad were known by the title ''Valluvakonathiri''/''Vellattiri''. According to local legends, the last [[Legend of Cheraman Perumals|Cheraman Perumal]] ruler gave a vast extension of land in [[South Malabar]] during his journey to [[Mecca]] to one of their governors, ''Valluvakonathiri'', and left for pilgrimage.<ref name="princelystatesofindia1"/> Valluvanad was famous for the [[Mamankam festival]]s, held once in 12 years and the endless wars against the [[Samoothiri]] of Kozhikode.<ref name="princelystatesofindia1"/><br />
