'''Tondiarpet''' is a northern neighbourhood of [[Chennai]], [[Tamil Nadu]], [[India]].

==Etymology==
This area got its name from a famous nineteenth-century Muslim Saint [[Kunangudi Masthan Sahib]]. His birthplace is located near [[Thondi]] in [[Ramanathapuram District]]. He meditated in a place known as "Lebbai Kaadu" in Chennai. The locals called him "Thondiar", meaning "Man hailing from Thondi". Later, Lebbai Kaadu came to be known as Tondiarpet.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/to-sing-like-mastan-sahib/article5086673.ece|newspaper=The Hindu|title=To sing like Mastan Sahib | date=3 September 2013 | first=Sriram | last=V | access-date=6 November 2018 }}</ref> Hazarath Kunangudi Masthan Sahib Dargah located in [[Royapuram]] near Tondiarpet is visited by people of all faith. His writings are hailed by all people and are available in a textbook labeled as Gnana Sidhar Kunangudiar. It is available at his dargah in Royapuram.

The place is located in the northern part of Chennai and close to [[Bay of Bengal]]. It shares its boundaries with other important regions of Chennai including [[George Town, Chennai|George Town]], which is a couple of kilometers to the south.
