A History of Mylapore

Timeless Mylapore

Chennai

“Mylapore, one of Chennai’s oldest neighbourhoods, has a history dating back over 2,000 years. A thriving cultural and religious hub, it is best known for the Kapaleeshwarar Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, and the San Thome Basilica, built over the tomb of St. Thomas. Mylapore was a prominent trading port for the Pallavas, Cholas, and later, the Portuguese and British. It remains a centre of Carnatic music, Bharatanatyam, and Tamil heritage. Its vibrant streets, traditional South Indian cuisine, and age-old temples make it a fascinating blend of history and modernity, reflecting Chennai’s deep-rooted traditions.”

A History of Mylapore takes you on a journey through one of Chennai’s oldest neighbourhoods, where ancient temples, colonial influences, and vibrant traditions coexist. Walk from the Kapaleeshwarar Temple to the shore, uncovering stories of dynasties, traders, and evolving architecture that shaped this historic town.
