Thirumullaivoyal is a western neighbourhood of Chennai the capital of the India state of Tamil Nadu, under Avadi City Municipal Corporation Limits.

In ancient times, the forest surrounding Thirumullaivoyal was occupied by two notorious tribesmen, Vaanan and Onan from the Kurumbar tribe.

The king and his men, in an attempt to free the elephant from this mess, went on to cut the wild twines with their swords and daggers.

It is believed that Shiva also promised to support him in destroying the Kurumbars by sending his holy steed, the Nandi bull.

There are also inscriptions from the regime of Parthivendravarman, a feudatory of Uttama Chola, which mentions the reconquest of the regions lost to Rashtrakutas during the Battle of Takkolam fought during 949 CE.

Tamilnadu SIDCO Women Industrial Park (Estate) is located 5 km to the north of Thirumullaivoyal at Kattur.
