     Home | Indian City | Mylapore



Mylapore( ) is a cultural hub and a bustling neighborhood, in the southern part of Chennai (formerly Madras) city, the capital of Tamil Nadu, India. Earlier Mylapore used to be called as Vedapuri.

Mylapore is a major commercial center, and one of the oldest residential parts of the city. It is well-connected by roads and Metro railway network, MRTS. It is famous for its tree-lined avenues, the famous 7th century Kapaleeswarar Temple, its kutcheri season and Ramakrishna Math. Mylapore is regarded in history as the birthplace of Tamil poet and saint, Thiruvalluvar, and the site of the death and burial of Thomas the Apostle, Apostle of Jesus Christ.

Mylapore Video

Mylapore Festival is conducted every year in January 2007 at Chennai. One of the event is the Kolam Competition. On North Mada Street, women participate in a Kolam Contest. Kolam is an art form which is practiced in India. In southern parts, kolam is drawn with the aid of a series of dots and lines passing through these dots. Kolam is drawn usually with rice flour. Rangoli is also a variety of Kolam but it is colourful. The contestants are judged on the basis of the Kolams drawn by them on the North Mada Veedhi at Mylapore.

A Journey on the Mass rapid Transit system in Chennai from Thiruvanmiyur to Mylapore... with a usual train song on the background..sorry i could not think of any other apt song here... and this is one of my favourite. About the video,(excuse the quality on a Nokia E65 Camera) sorry, it was a dream for every chennai resident to have this MRTS.. it has taken 15 years almost to complete this project.. yet not complete in totality... never mind we work on a tight budget unlike the developed countries...Now...Enjoy the ride..
