ST THOMAS MOUNT, CHENNAI

‪@4ksupremeview153‬ Parangimalai (known in English as St. Thomas Mount) is a small hillock in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, near the neighbourhood of Guindy and very close to Chennai International Airport. The ancient Syrian Christian community of India trace the origin of their church to St. Thomas the Apostle. From the 17th century, this part of Chennai was populated predominantly by Anglo-Indians. The St. Thomas Garrison Church is at the foot of St. Thomas Mount. The St. Thomas Syro Malabar Catholic Church is located east of the shrine at North Silver Street, footholds of the mountain shrine. The neighbourhood is served by the St. Thomas Mount railway station, on the southern line of the Chennai Suburban Railway Network.[citation needed] Integration of the Metro and MRTS with the suburban station in the neighbourhood, is expected to make the suburb the city's largest transit hub after Chennai Central.[1] In the state assembly elections of 1967 and 1971, there was a constituency known as the Parangimalai. #stthomasmount #chruch #chennai #parangimalai #mountain #viewpoint #chennaiairport #chennaiviews #tour #walking #4k #8k #angloindian #vlog #tamilnadu #india #historical google map St. Thomas Mount https://maps.app.goo.gl/8GCkYrDHNN8i3...
