==History==<br />
Cheyyur, near chennai is a quaint village situated 29&nbsp;km from [[Madurantakam]], at [[Chengalpattu]] in Kanchipuram District of Tamil Nadu. This tiny hamlet was earlier called Jayamkonda-Cholapuram, Seyyur and Belapuri. In the early days, this area was a dense forest and kept as a reserve for the [[Chola dynasty|Chola kings]] to hunt.<br />
<br />
An ancient temple called Cheyyur [[Shiva]] Temple, 800 years old, constructed during the reign of the Chola kings, is the major attraction. Near the Shiva Temple is another shrine dedicated to [[Kanthaswamy Temple, Cheyyur|Muruga]] as an infant. In Tamil 'Sei' denotes 'infant' and the name of the village (Seyyur, later Cheyyur) is derived from this fact.<br />
<br />
[[Chennai International Airport]] and Chengalpattu Junction Railway Station serve this area. Visitors can access Cheyyur from Madurakantam, which can be reached by road either from [[Chennai]] or Chengalpattu. Private taxis and regular buses are available from Madurakantam to Cheyyur and 7&nbsp;km from ECR(Ellai amman Kovil-Nainarkuppam), Cheyyur is located 65.7&nbsp;km distance from its District Main City Kanchipuram Cheyyur Pin Code is 603302 .<br />
The Government of India has proposed to develop a 4000 MW Ultra Mega Power Plant (UMPP) at Cheyyur .<br />
