Maduravoyal (Tamil: மதுரவாயல்) is a small township located in the west of Chennai, India. Maduravoyal name came from "Maduraivayal" or "Maduraivaayal", Madurai(a town)+Vayal(agriculture field) which means a village has agriculture lands like Madurai, or may be called as Madurai +Vaayal(way) which defines peoples came and settled from Madurai. In ward 144, there is a street named "Madurai Naicker Street" which is the best reason.

Maduravoyal also has a name as "Ettaavadhu Mile" (8th mile), so it could be famous in British Period too, it is exactly 12.87 kilometres (8.00 mi) from Chennai Harbour, and Maduravoyal located 3 km from the west of Koyambedu area which is a major hub of activity in Chennai City. Maduravoyal which was once a suburb of Chennai became a part of chennai corporation in 2009 city expansion order passed by the state government.[1][2] Nearby areas include Nerkundram, Mogappair, Vanagaram, Valasaravakkam, Alapakkam and Porur.

The second phase of Chennai Bypass cuts through Maduravoyal to reach the northern borders of Chennai. Maduravoyal noticed a rapid developed and sudden increase in property prices ever since the Maduravoyal Junction with the cloverleaf interchange (flyover) became operational.[3][4]

Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh in the year January 2009[5] laid foundation stone for the Chennai Port – Maduravoyal Expressway a 19 kilometres (12 mi) elevated expressway project by National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).

Maduravoyal (Thiruvallur)

In Maduravoyal, the south side of "Madurai Naicker Street", amateur archaeologists of Ayyavoo Nagar residents played discovered two rare inscriptions of the Telugu Cholas dating back to the 13th century while renovating an ancient Maha Shiva temple. The residents found these inscriptions when they were removing thick lime wash on the temple walls, as part of the renovation. The temple had been lime washed to yellow a few decades back, hiding the inscriptions. "It is a rare finding of the Telugu Chola period," the name of village called Maduravoyal .

Written in Tamil, the inscriptions have been dated to the period 1246–1249 AD during the reign of Vijayakandangopalan of Telugu Cholas. Vijayakandangoplan, who ruled for 25 years from 1242 AD, was a famous feudatory ruler of the Cholas, and had marriage relations with them. The Telugu Cholas reigned between the seventh and thirteenth centuries and adopted the title of Chola to show the feudatory status they had under the Chola-Chalukya rulers. The Chinese traveler Yuan Chwang referred to the Telugu Cholas as "Chuliyas."

Inscriptions found at the temple refer to two contributions made by the ruler on two different occasions for the purpose of temple maintenance. In the first instance, Vijayakandangoplan donated four cows and a huge lamp for illuminating the temple in 1246 AD. Three years later, he again contributed large acres of farmland in Sembakkam, a village in Singalur of Tiruvallur district. In the inscription, he rules that revenue generated in the form of taxes from these lands should be spent for the maintenance of the temple. "In ancient times, temples acted not only as places of worship but, also as registration offices, schools, and assemblies of elders,"
