Mugalivakkam is a suburb of Chennai. It is situated 16 km south-west of Chennai on the Guindy-Poonamallee road. It is bounded by porur on the north west, Manapakkam on the south and east, and Ramapuram on the north.
Mugalivakkam provides an interesting specimen to students of etymology. This strange sounding name might have evolved during the brief Mughal rule of Poonamallee during the later half of the 17th century AD and the 18th century AD.
Mugalivakkam is an insignificant town with little to offer. It is regarded by many as only a major locality of Porur township.
