It was a suffragan diocese in the ecclesiastical province of the Archdiocese of Goa, under the Portuguese patronage. It was founded at 1606 and abandoned at 1952. It was located in Mylapore, and derives its name from the site of its cathedral in which the Apostle St. Thomas was reportedly interred on the site of his martyrdom and the Tamil word Mailapur (i.e. the town of peacocks), which the Greeks rendered as Maliarpha, the Portuguese as Meliapor, and the English as Mylapore.

Foi extinta em 1952, sendo que o seu território eclesiástico foi dividido em duas partes: uma parte passou a ser a Diocese de Tanjore; e a outra parte foi fundida com a Arquidiocese de Madras, formando a Arquidiocese de Madras e Meliapore.
