On the west, it was bounded by the Sea at Ponnani and on the east by Attapadi Hills.
There is a belief that Walluvanad Kings are decendents of a Pallava prince "Sreevallabha". He moved the entire family from Srevilliputhur in north Tamilnadu to the area around the Nila River (Bharathapuzha) about the year AD 300. The eldest person in the family is called Sree Vallabhan or Valluokonathiri.
The Capital of the easrtwhile Waluvanad was at the present day town of Angadipuram, which is now famous for its Thirumandhamkunnu Temple. During the British period, the capital was moved to Perinthalmanna a few km from Angadipuram.
