Nellikuzhi is a Grama panchayat in Kothamangalam Taluk, Ernakulam district, Kerala, situated on the Aluva-Munnar State Highway.
Nellikuzhi caters the main demand of hardwood furniture in South India.
The first Iramalloor Village unit was formed in 1946, covering the Panchayat area as part of old Travancore under Muvattupuzha Taluk before formation of Travancore-Cochin state in 1949.
This led historians such as Professor Joseph Mundasseri and Kanakasabhato to claim that Thrikkariyoor, a village 3 km north of Kothamangalam, could have been the ancient capital of Cheras.
Nellikuzhi is a prominent furniture market in Central Kerala, attracting workers from across India.
