[[File:Thiruvanmiyur BEACH AREA .jpg|thumb|Thiruvanmiyur beach]]
'''Thiruvanmiyur''' is a largely residential neighborhood in the south of [[Chennai]], [[Tamil Nadu]], India. Thiruvanmiyur witnessed a spike in its economy with the construction of Chennai's first dedicated technology office space, the [[Tidel Park|Tidel Information Technology Park]] in neighboring Taramani. The subsequent rise of several information technology businesses, research centres and offices around Tidel park proved fortuitous for Thiruvanmiyur, as many of the workers at these offices often made Thiruvanmiyur their home. The [[Marundeeswarar Temple]], dedicated to [[Shiva]] previously defined the area, leading it to be mentioned in [[Sangam literature|Sangam Tamil epics]]. It is also commonly referred to as the MICO layout of Chennai city. Other Famous Temples are Ashtalakshmi Temple and Aarupadai Murugan Temple.

==Etymology==
* Folklore around the place say it might derive its name from Thiru-Valmiki-Ur, meaning location of the temple of [[Valmiki]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Arulmigu Marundeeswarar Temple Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai.|url=http://www.marundeeswarartemple.tnhrce.in/history-marundeswar.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150410013324/http://www.marundeeswarartemple.tnhrce.in/history-marundeswar.html|archive-date=2015-04-10}}</ref>
