DakshinaChitra means - "a picture of the south" It is a high-quality heritage center located in Muttukadu, twenty-five kilometers south of Chennai, on the East Coast Road to Mamallapuram, Tamil Nadu, India. It shares its proximity to famous MGM Dizee world.
DakshinaChitra was started with an aim to rebuild and preserve the culture of South India alive to future generations. From my experience, I can say that, it is an cross-cultural living example of art, architecture, lifestyles, crafts and performing arts of South India.
The ten-acre campus is divided into four sections, covering four prominent states of south India, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala. One can find rebuilt models of houses and streets from all the four states. Visitors can enter any of 17 heritage houses in recreated streetscapes. All the houses have been furnished appropriately, and some contain contextual exhibitions, which exhibit artifacts of older times from the particular region. A complete tour of DakshinaChitra consumes a minimum of one hour.
In addition to the heritage houses, DakshinaChitra has been doing craft promotion and development. It offers direct marketing opportunities for craftspeople. Traditional craft and textiles are exhibited throughout the center. It also conducts regular folk performances and involves the performers in interactive programs and workshops.
Visiting Hours : 10 am to 8 PM
Holiday: Tuesday (open on all national holidays except on Diwali Day)

The beauty of Kashmir has always attracted travelers and emperors alike to appreciate the enchanting wonder that Kashmir is. A is an experience of a lifetime, unforgettable in every way. The Kashmir holidays experience is no less splendid than a most beautiful dream, the kind of which we see with our eyes open. From the quiet sunset on Dal Lake in Srinagar to the thrilling rush of white water rafting adventure sports of Gulmarg, Kashmir has a plethora of unforgettable experiences to offer to the traveler. In fact, the beauty of Kashmir can be summarized into three distinct categories, the foothill plains of Jammu, the beautiful lakes and valleys of Kashmir (Gulmarg, Sonmarg, Pahalgam, Srinagar etc) and the magnificent mountains of Ladakh and Leh. This is the reason we offer tour packages encompassing these three distinct regions of Kashmir.
