About place

Mylapore, located in Chennai's south, is one of the city's oldest and most culturally varied neighbourhoods. The region, on the other hand, predates the founding of Chennai, or Madras, as the British named it, by at least 1500 years. Even before the British set foot on this territory, the city had a colourful past. Mylapore is also a very traditional place, with many temples, churches, and historical monuments. Simultaneously, it is stepping up to match modern-day expectations with shopping malls, tree-lined beautified roads, and other attractions. Mylapore has a native name as well. The name Thirumayilai is derived from a Tamil phrase that meaning "country of the peacock's scream." It is an evident homage to the many peacocks that once roamed the countryside.
