Dakshin chitra

During this week-end Chennai visit, We friends went to Dakshin Chitra. It is a place in ECR, next to MGM. Here, they have exhibited house varities of south India.

Before entering to the houses, they have orientation video on this houses. We felt it as boring and walked out to see the houses.

Its all real houses of various varities. Most of house models are for TN and Kerala. I guess, they are expanding for AP and Karnataka. For TN, They have models of Chetti nadu house/Thanjur house/ Ayyar house.. etc. They also have street of Tamil Nadu houses. To make it a real, they have included palm readers, bioscope showers and Mehanthi drawers.

It is glad to know that the glass blowers were there in the ancient times too. One glass blower has prepared a glass art infront of all of us. It was interesting. They have kept a board on Earlier Tamil scripts. The script has been changed a lot for centuries to bring to the present one.

They provide Lunch. We didnt find it worth for the money payed for that. They can better it further...

Its worth of visiting once.
