The Armenian Church ,Chennai
The Armenian Church of Chennai located at Armenian Street, Chennai.
The Saint Mary Church in Chennai, also recognized in Armenian as Սուրբ Աստվածածին Եկեղեցի, was originally built in 1712 and underwent a reconstruction in 1772. This church, situated in Chennai, stands as one of the most ancient churches on the Indian subcontinent. Notably, it boasts a six-bell belfry. Also referred to as the Armenian Church of Virgin Mary, it is positioned on Armenian Street, within the George Town neighborhood. Aga Shawmier succeeded Uscan as leader of the Armenian merchant settlement and this church was built (and consecrated in 1772) in his chapel grounds. It has a Shawmier’s room built in his wife’s memory according to a local historian. The church came up on the graves of about 350 Armenians.
Harutyun Shmavonyan, the pioneer publisher, and editor of the inaugural Armenian periodical, “Azdarar,” is buried at this location.
The church boasts the largest bells in the city, each tipping the scales at 200 kg, with the two oldest originating from 1754 and 1778. The altar of the church is a relic from a previous Armenian church situated near the Madras High Court. Additionally, two other bells were donated by Eliazar Shawmier, while the remaining pair date back to 1837. Furthermore, the church complex historically functioned as a burial ground for the city’s Armenian community.
Armenian Freedom Circle - Southern Program and Indian Madras ( now Chennai )
The history of the Armenian community of India is highlighted by the publication of the first Armenian monthly magazine “Azdarar” (“Herald”). It has been issued in Madras in 1794-1796. The activities of Movses Baghramyan and Shahamir Shahamirian are also noteworthy. In 1770–1790, Shahamirian headed the Armenian patriotic circle in Madras, of which Baghramyan had been a member, as well as headed the printing house founded by him in 1771.One of the most pivotal publications to come out of Shahamiryan’s press was Movses Baghramyan’s book “New notebook to call Yordorak.” This book presented a plan for the liberation of Armenia, a vision that was revolutionary for its time.
A picture from around 1790, housed in the British Library in London, depicts members of the Armenian population in what is now known as Chennai, India. In the backdrop, Chennai’s Armenian Church of St. Mariam Astvastsatsin and the fortress of St. Gevorg are visible. Additionally, both Armenian and British trading vessels can be seen moored in the Bay of Bengal.

Coja Petrus Oscan
When you visit the tranquil Armenian Church of St. Mary, located on Armenian Street, you will find a commemorative plaque that honors the benevolent Armenian , Coja Petrus Oscan , an Armenian merchant who settled in Chennai, India was notably generous with his wealth. He made substantial contributions to the public.He constructed the Marmalong bridge across the Adyar river.He contributed to the construction of St. Rita’s Church in Santhome. A slab on the east wall of the church has the inscription “In the memory of the Armenian nation, 1729.To assist pilgrims traveling to St. Thomas Mount, he funded the creation of a step-way leading up the hillock a A devout individual, Petrus practiced his faith at the Chapel of Our Lady of Miracles in Vipore (Vepery), which he privately owned.Petrus had no children and his wife inherited his wealth. When she died, she left it to charity.
A tastefully designed plaque on the bridge features inscriptions in three languages: Armenian, Persian, and Latin, which reads: “This bridge was built for public interest by Coja Petrus Uscan, belonging to the Armenian nation, AD 1726.” The establishment of the bridge and the stepped pathway to the hill acted as catalysts for the creation of a road, which eventually developed into Mount Road, spurring the southern expansion of the city.
Coja Petrus Uscan who led the Armenian community of Madras from 1723 to 1751 is regarded as the greatest and most famous member of the community.The Armenian merchant community was primarily focused on trade and helping the local government build infrastructure.They contributed to the public infrastructure.The community has almost become extinct, yet its memory survives through Petrus Uscan’s numerous endowments and works of charity.
Constructed at a cost of Rs 1 lakh and bequeathed to the city, the Marmalong Bridge was a testament to Uscan’s commitment to Madras, a city he chose to settle in after arriving in 1724. Not only did he fund the construction of the bridge, but he also ensured resources for its maintenance. Eventually replaced by the Marimalai Adigal Bridge, the original Marmalong Bridge is commemorated with a plaque featuring inscriptions in Persian, Armenian, and Latin. A few years ago, local history aficionados initiated a campaign titled “Retrieve the Uscan Stone” on Facebook, aiming to garner support and attention to preserve the plaque

The Marmalong Bridge, the earliest bridge spanning the Adyar River, was initially built by Armenian trader Coja Petrus Uscan in 1728 with his own funds.A plaque commemorating Uscan’s contribution to the bridge’s construction is placed at its northern end, adjacent to the Saidapet bus stand.The name of the bridge is derived from the localized English version of the neighboring village of Mambalam.
Harutyun Shmavonyan
Հարություն Շմավոնյան Harutyun Shmavonyan, Gravestone of Shmavonyan, at the Armenian Church Chennai
Harutyun Shmavonyan (Armenian: Հարություն Շմավոնյան), born in Shiraz, Persia, in 1750 and passed away in Madras, India, in 1824, was a revered priest of the Armenian Apostolic Church and is hailed as the pioneer of Armenian journalism due to his establishment of the Armenian journal “Azdarar,” for which he also served as editor. Shmavonyan, who relocated to Madras (present-day Chennai), India, in 1784, dedicated himself to serving as an Armenian priest and later, in 1789, established a second Armenian publishing house.
In October 1794, he launched the Armenian journal “Azdarar” (Armenian: Ազդարար), marking it as the inaugural Armenian periodical ever to be published, thereby cementing his legacy as a trailblazer and the father of Armenian journalism. Although funding for the new publication was secured, the readership was relatively modest. Shmavonyan managed to publish 18 issues of “Azdarar” before its publication ceased in 1796.
Harutyun Shmavonyan passed away in 1824, leaving behind a legacy of pioneering Armenian journalism.
Shahamir Shahamiryan
Shahamir Shahamiryan’s “Vorogayt Parats”
Shahamir Shahamirian, an Armenian writer, philosopher, Armenian freedom movement proponent and prosperous merchant of the 18th century, was born in New Julfa, Iran, and later relocated to India, establishing himself as a wealthy merchant and an active participant in the Armenian community of Madras (now Chennai, India). In 1771, he and his associates established Madras’s first Armenian printing press. Shahamirian, in 1787/88, published “Vorogayt Parats” (“Snare of Glory,” under his son Hakob Shahamirian’s name), which included a proposed constitution for a prospective independent Armenian republic, earning him recognition as the first Armenian constitution’s author.
Born in 1723 in New Julfa, Shahamirian journeyed to Madras during the 1740s. Here, he soon established himself as a leading figure among the Armenians, largely due to his inheritance of his uncle’s fortune. This wealth positioned him as the most affluent Armenian in Madras.
His intellectual pursuits led him to collaborate with key figures like Movses Baghramian. Together with other Armenian intellectuals, they founded the iconic Madras Armenian printing press in 1771. Their printed works stand out as pioneering Armenian expressions of European Enlightenment ideals.
One notable publication was “New Booklet called Exhortation”, championing the revolutionary ideals of constitutional democracy. Shahamirian’s magnum opus, however, was “A Book called Snare of Glory” (Vorogayt Parats). This visionary document is acclaimed as the first-ever Armenian constitution, proposing a parliamentary republic for Armenia with a clear delineation between church and state.
Influence and Vision
Shahamirian’s efforts were not universally lauded. Simeon I of Yerevan, the Armenian Catholicos, perceived Shahamirian’s secular and liberal principles as a threat. The rift escalated when in 1776, the Catholicos demanded the cessation of the Madras press and the destruction of their publications. However, after the Catholicos’ death in 1780, the press resumed its activities, further publishing Shahamirian’s “Booklet of Aim” in 1783, outlining a communal constitution for the Armenian community.
Shahamirian, a visionary, perceived alliances with Heraclius II of Georgia and subsequently the Russian Empire, as key to liberating Armenia. His constitution proposed the possibility of a member from historic Armenian royal dynasties being elected lifelong leader of the republic.
Legacy and Passing
Shahamirian’s demise came in 1797. His substantial legacy included a staggering 52 million gold francs and various properties spanning factories to tobacco plantations in Malacca.
Edward Raphael & Samuel Moorat
The Armenian community notably marked its presence in Madras around the 1660s. “Madras: The Land. The People and Their Governance” by S. Muthiah highlights that the most ancient Armenian tombstone, belonging to Coja David Margar, can be traced back to 1663 and was discovered near Little Mount.Armenians of Madras were the first to discover the sepulchre of St. Thomas upon the Mount in the 16th Century.An Armenian merchant sailor called Thomas Cana, arrived along the Malabar Coast in 780 AD long before the Portugese explorer Vasco da Gama reached India.
While the exact timeline of Armenian settlement remains unrecorded, their dominant role in trade between India and West Asia, as well as with Manila (a Spanish stronghold at the time), is evident. According to “Madras: The Land. The People and Their Governance” by S. Muthiah, the Armenians primarily dealt in commodities like silk, spices, and gems, establishing a trade monopoly in these regions.
Edward Raphael, originating from New Julfa in the Armenian quarter of Iran’s Isfahan province, emerged as a notable figure in the Armenian merchant community in Madras in the latter half of the 18th century. In 1788, he co-founded the Carnatic Bank, Madras’s first joint-stock bank, which persists today as the Bank of Madras.
Additionally, Raphael, alongside his son-in-law and distinguished diamond merchant, Samuel Moorat, established the Collegio Armeno Moorat Raphael in Venice. Both men, known for their enlightenment and ties to the scholarly Mekhitarist order, aimed to offer top-tier education to young Armenians in Europe through their college.Edward Raphael’s son Alexander raphael after his father’s death went to Britain and was the fisrt British-Armenian to serve in the House of commons in the United Kingdom.

The initial renowned Armenian residence in Fort St. George is presently known as Admiralty House, constructed by Coja Nazar Jacob Jan, who reached Madras in 1702.
Aga Nazar Jan paved the way as the inaugural prominent Armenian merchant in Madras, succeeded by notable figures like Coja Petrus Uscan, Aga Shawmier Sultan, and Aga Samuel Moorat. After Samuel Moorat passed away in 1816, his son, Edward Moorat, depleted his substantial inheritance living a luxurious life. His demise marked the beginning of the diminishing Armenian presence in Madras.
