By extension, it is also the name of the neighbourhood surrounding the hillock. The neighbourhood is served by the [Chennai Metro](/source/Chennai_Metro) and the [St. Thomas Mount railway station](/source/St._Thomas_Mount_railway_station), on the [South line](/source/South_Line%2C_Chennai_Suburban) of the [Chennai Suburban Railway](/source/Chennai_Suburban_Railway) and the [Chennai MRTS](/source/Chennai_Mass_Rapid_Transit_System).[2][3][4] ## History The area is closely associated with local traditions. According to Hindu tradition, the sage [Bhringi](/source/Bhringi) resided and meditated on the hillock in his quest to see [Shiva](/source/Shiva). The locality thus came to be known as *Bhringi malai*, or "the hill of Bhringi", which over time morphed into "Parangimalai". It is also said that this connects several other regions in the city with the origin of their names. For instance, the place where he laid his pitcher, known in Tamil as *kindi* while performing worship, has now come to be known as "[Guindy](/source/Guindy)".[5] According to Christian traditions, the hill is the site where [St. Thomas the Apostle](/source/Thomas_the_Apostle) was [martyred](/source/Thomas_the_Apostle#Death) in 72 [AD](/source/Anno_Domini) after being struck with a spear.[6] In 1523, the Portuguese missionary Diego Fernandes built a small [oratory](/source/Oratory_(worship)) on the Mount, reportedly over the foundations of an earlier church. As the number of pilgrims grew, [Gaspar Coelho](/source/Gaspar_Coelho), the Vicar of the Church of Mylapore, laid the foundation for a larger church in 1547 and dedicated it to *Our Lady of the Mount*. The church is believed to have served as a lighthouse for Portuguese and Armenian ships during the 16th century.[7] In 1802, [William Lambton](/source/William_Lambton), the surveyor responsible for launching the [Great Trigonometrical Survey](/source/Great_Trigonometrical_Survey) of India, began his work from the plateau of St. Thomas Mount.[8] In 1830, the [St. Thomas Garrison Church](/source/St._Thomas_Garrison_Church) was built to serve British soldiers of the Madras Artillery, which was headquartered in the area since 1774.[9] In 1962, Archbishop [Louis Mathias](/source/Louis_Mathias) of Madras-Mylapore oversaw the laying of an asphalt road to the summit, and by 1963, a [calvary](/source/Calvary_(sanctuary)) was installed atop the hill, overlooking the city.[7] In the state assembly elections of [1967](/source/1967_Madras_State_Legislative_Assembly_election) and [1971](/source/1971_Tamil_Nadu_Legislative_Assembly_election), there was a constituency known as [St. Thomas Mount](/source/St._Thomas_Mount_Assembly_constituency). In 1986, [Pope John Paul II](/source/Pope_John_Paul_II) visited the St. Thomas Mount Church.[10] ## Governance The St. Thomas Mount block is a revenue block in the [Chengalpattu district](/source/Chengalpattu_district) of Tamil Nadu, India.[11] As per the Census 2011, the St. Thomas Mount development block covered an area of 86.94 km2 (33.57 sq mi), of which 42.98 km2 (16.59 sq mi) was classified as rural and 43.96 km2 (16.97 sq mi) as urban.
