Mylapore is a legislative assembly constituency of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is a historic urban seat in the Chennai district,[1] in existence since 1951, and is listed at number 25 amongst the state's 234 assembly constituencies. It includes its namesake Chennai locality Mylapore and surrounding areas such as Alwarpet, Raja Annamalaipuram, Foreshore Estate, Santhome, Mandaveli, Nandanam, and parts of Teynampet. The constituency is generally considered a cultural hub, hosting a diverse population.

The famous Kapaleeshwarar temple, Santhome Cathedral Basilica, the Lighthouse and southern stretches of the Marina Beach are situated in this constituency. During Indian general elections, the Mylapore constituency is a part of the larger Chennai South constituency that sends a Member of Parliament (MP) to the Lok Sabha. The current Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) representing Mylapore is P. Venkataramanan of the TVK.

Overview

[edit]

Boundaries

[edit]

As per orders of the Delimitation Commission, the Mylapore assembly constituency consists of seven wards of the Greater Chennai Corporation: wards 121, 122, 123, 124, 125 and 126 from the ninth zone (Teynampet) and ward 173 from the 13th zone (Adyar). This composition brings the focal neighbourhood of Mylapore, and its environs Alwarpet, Raja Annamalaipuram, Foreshore Estate, Santhome, Mandaveli, and Nandanam in a single constituency, alongside some parts of Teynampet. The constituency is bound by the Adyar river in the south, the Marina Beach in the east, and the Mount Road in the west. The Buckingham Canal traverses north-east to south-west through the constituency.

Character

[edit]

The constituency is entirely urban, situated at the heart of Chennai. It is a mix of affluent neighbourhoods, working-class settlements, commercial areas, and religious establishments. It stretches all the way from the upscale streets of Boat Club in the east to the impoverished fishing hamlets (kuppam) dotting the seashore, and from the backwater estuary of Adyar in the south to the dense streets of interior Chennai. Amidst its posh residential areas, pockets of slums and housing board townships are also found. The constituency hosts various temples and churches, making it a culturally vibrant seat. Examples include the Kapaleeshwarar Temple, Mundaka Kanni Amman Temple, Thiruvalluvar Temple, Ramakrishna Math, Luz Church,Santhome Cathedral etc.

Hindus are the majority of the voters, with the Brahmin sect having a dominant presence in the central parts of the constituency. Elsewhere, Christians, Backward Class Hindus and Scheduled Castes form a voting bloc. Muslims also have a considerable presence. Following the 2026 Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, the total number of voters in Mylapore is 1,94,731, where female voters outnumber men by around 4 percent.

The issues raised by the voters of Mylapore constituency are mainly civic, such as water logging during rains, flood-prone banks of the Buckingham Canal, land waste management, slum clearance, and traffic congestion.
