लोग
| नाम | वर्ष | क्षेत्र | किसलिए मशहूर |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mahendravarman I | r. c. 600–630 | Pallava king, poet and patron | Began the practice of cutting temples directly into living rock in this country, with pillared cave mandapas at Mandagapattu and elsewhere — an inscription of his boasts of building without brick, timber, metal or mortar. He also wrote the surviving Sanskrit farce Mattavilasa Prahasana, which mocks the religious establishments of his own capital. |
| Narasimhavarman I (Mamalla) | r. c. 630–668 | Pallava king | The reign the shore town is named for, in which whole temples were carved downward out of standing boulders as monoliths — the rathas — an intermediate step between excavation and construction that exists almost nowhere else. |
| Rajasimha (Narasimhavarman II) | r. c. 700–728 | Pallava king | Built in cut and stacked stone — the Shore Temple and the Kailasanathar at Kanchipuram — completing the move from carving to construction and fixing the plan and elevation that later southern temple architecture worked from. |
| Ramanuja | c. 1017–1137 | Philosopher | Born at Sriperumbudur on this plain; systematised Vishishtadvaita, reorganised temple administration at Srirangam and further west, and pushed for wider access to temple worship. The Vaishnava institutional order across the south still runs on arrangements attributed to him. |
| Sekkizhar | Twelfth century | Poet and minister | From Kunrathur near Chennai; wrote the Periya Puranam, the lives of the sixty-three Shaiva saints, which became the twelfth book of the Tamil Shaiva canon and the source of the Mylapore procession. |
| Ananda Ranga Pillai | 1709–1761 | Merchant and chief dubash | Chief interpreter and commercial agent to the French governor Dupleix, and the author of a diary kept for decades that is one of the most detailed accounts of eighteenth-century south Indian commercial and political life written by an Indian participant. |
| Veena Dhanammal | 1867–1938 | Musician | A Madras veena player and singer whose slow, ornamented, deliberately unshowy style became a reference point for twentieth-century Carnatic music through the students and descendants who carried it. |
| Subramania Bharati | 1882–1921 | Poet | Spent a decade in exile in the French enclave from 1908, writing much of his major work there beyond the reach of British sedition law. He rebuilt Tamil poetry in plain contemporary language, and the house he lived in is preserved. |
| Sri Aurobindo | 1872–1950 | Philosopher | Arrived in the French enclave in 1910 and remained for forty years, writing The Life Divine and Savitri; the community that formed around him became the ashram that still shapes a large part of the town. |
| Mirra Alfassa (the Mother) | 1878–1973 | Organiser and teacher | Ran the Sri Aurobindo Ashram from the 1920s, built its school and its workshops, and founded Auroville in 1968 as a planned international township north of the town. |
| Rukmini Devi Arundale | 1904–1986 | Dancer and institution builder | Founded Kalakshetra in Madras in 1936, which took the sadir repertoire of the temple dancer lineages onto the concert stage and into a formal curriculum. The reform is celebrated and contested in roughly equal measure and both positions are worth hearing. |
| M. S. Subbulakshmi | 1916–2004 | Singer | Born in the Vaigai country and resident in Madras for most of her life; her recordings of the Venkatesa Suprabhatam and the Bhaja Govindam are played daily in millions of households, which is a distribution no other Carnatic musician has had. |
| S. Muthiah | 1930–2019 | Historian and columnist | Wrote the modern history of Madras in weekly instalments for decades, and is the reason a great deal of the city's nineteenth- and twentieth-century record was collected before the buildings that held it came down. |
