On the way to Mamallapuram is Dakshin Chitra, a project of the Madras Craft Foundation. Here, traditional houses from various parts of South India have been transported and re-built, offering you an unforgettable and authentic insight into the lifestyles of the diverse people of South India.
Craftspersons and folk artists work and perform in the reconstructed period settings of 19th century streets, homes and workshop-spaces.
You can try your hand at pottery, or at various handicrafts. There are special shows and dance performances during all festivals. Highly recommended. |
