Woman at Dakshin Chitra Originally uploaded by calamur.

Just got back yesterday after a 7 day tour of Tamil Nad. Mostly visiting temples. But, on the first day we went to Dakshin Chitra. This is a museum dedicated to preserving South Indian cultural traditions. Homes have been recreated to great precision - the centre of the exhibit is a Chettiyaar home from the Chettinad region. This was one of the attendants at Dakshin Chitra - found her face fascinating and photogenic. Also loved the interplay of light and shadow

I went to Dakshin Chitra in February and very much enjoyed it - it’s a hidden gem! Glad you liked it.

Yup, Dakshin Chitra is good. So is Cholamandalam Artist’s Village.

Please, it’s Tamil Nadu. It may be difficult to pronounce, but it doesn’t hurt to spell it right?
