A unique concept of bringing South India’s cultural traditions all under one roof, Dakshin Chitra is a little out of the city (25 kilometers) but certainly worth your while. Dakshin Chitra actually means "picture of the south" and that’s exactly what you should expect to see. Educational and fun at the same time, this is a center for a complete orientation to Southern India’s four states. You can experience the living traditions, performing arts, music, crafts and architecture on the 10-acre spread. The earthy feel of the structure and its surroundings transport visitors into the cultural milieu. Dakshin Chitra is great for both children and adults as you can try your hand at glass blowing, pottery and traditional games.

There are activities available within some of the houses so you can learn or watch how traditional crafts are practiced or games are played. Dakshinachitra is ever-expanding and the best represented states, because those houses were built on the site first and because of the site location, are the South Indian states of Tamil Nadu (a whole street is recreated) and Kerala.
Before you visit check out the Current Events section on their website as you might find a puppet show, dance presentation or crafts workshop to coincide wit...
