Reviews Of Mylapore
Chennai, Tamil Nadu, Country Name:India
Ancient Roots and Name: Mylapore is one of the oldest and most culturally significant neighbourhoods in Chennai, believed to have been a flourishing port town long before the arrival of the British. Its name, derived from the Tamil word 'Mayil' (peacock) and 'Oor' (town), is linked to the legend of the Kapaleeshwarar Temple, where Goddess Parvati worshipped Lord Shiva in the form of a peacock. This area is the birthplace of the revered Tamil poet-saint Thiruvalluvar, author of the Thirukkural. Its history stretches back over 2000 years, with mentions by Greek geographer Ptolemy.Spiritual and Religious Core:The neighbourhood is dominated by two major religious landmarks: the Kapaleeshwarar Temple (a Dravidian masterpiece) and the San Thome Basilica (built over the tomb of Saint Thomas the Apostle). This co-existence of major Hindu and Christian sites defines its pluralistic heritage. Numerous smaller temples, mosques, and the Ramakrishna Math further enrich its spiritual landscape. The temple tanks and their surrounding Mada Streets form the traditional layout of the area, still preserved today.Cultural and Commercial Vibrancy:Mylapore is a vibrant hub of traditional Tamil culture. The streets are famous for traditional markets selling flowers, spices, brassware, and silk sarees. The area hosts several sabhas (cultural organizations) that are central to Chennai's Carnatic music and Bharatanatyam dance scene, especially during the famous Music Season in December and January. Walking through Mylapore is a journey back in time, offering a contrast to the modern parts of Chennai. It has retained its traditional charm and architectural style, with old homes and street vendors adding to its character.Residential and Intellectual Legacy:The neighbourhood is known for its traditional Brahmin houses (agrahara) and is a centre for intellectual and artistic life. It is home to libraries, cultural institutions, and traditional educational centers. The unique blend of history, spirituality, and vibrant market life makes Mylapore an essential destination for anyone seeking the authentic essence of Chennai. It truly is the historic and cultural heart of the city.
