DakshinaChitra is a center for the living traditions of art, folk performing arts, craft and architecture of India with an emphasis on the traditions of South India. It is a depiction of the way of life prevalent in South India. A trip down Dakshinachitra takes you back to traditional home architecture from Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka. Started with the objective to revive, preserve and promote the arts and crafts of South India, it also serves as heritage education for visitors from outside South India and also for children who have never had the opportunity to experience their culture. More than four years old, Dakshinachitra was founded by the Madras Craft Foundation. Conceived by its Chairman Deborah Tyagarajan, it is has been brought to life by the British Architect, Lawrie Baker.
