'''Vengara''' is a Place in [[Kannur District]], [[Kerala]], [[India]] that is known for its landscapes and lush greenery. <br />
The village is between the [[Arabian Sea]] and [[Ezhimala Hill]]. It is a part of [[Madayi|Madayi Gramapanchayath]]<br />
<br />
The word ''vengara'' comes from ''ven kara'' meaning "white land" created by moving sea. This village is surrounded by [[Kannur|Kannur town]], [[Taliparamba]] and [[Payyanur]].<br />
<br />
Protected by [[Ezhimala]] and [[Madayippara]], the Village Vengara has witnessed many historical events. Ezhimala was the Capital of ancient Ezhimala Kingdom and now this place the headquarters of the Indian Naval Academy (the largest of its kind in Asia). The history reveals that [[Tipu Sultan]], the Ruler of Mysore has passed through this place during his battle forward to Kerala. Still the remains of a fort belongs to Tipu lying on Madayippara. He made a canal between Payangadi River and Moolakkeel River, called ‘Sultan Thodu’ (Sultan Canal) for the easy movement of cargo. Now, this canal has an important role to do with the proposed ‘[[Malabar region|Malabar]] Tourism Promotion Program.’ Historians say that once this place was a part of Arabian Sea hundreds of years ago. When the sea withdrew at last, there remained sandy land which people called ‘Ven Kara’ (White land in local tongue). Later ‘Ven Kara’ became Vengara by use.<br />
