Dakshinachitra, literally meaning “picture of the South”, is an open-air real time museum as well as well known cultural centre.  Our children enjoyed the living traditions of performing arts, crafts and architecture of India with an emphasis on the traditions of South India.  Our team visited 17 heritage houses, craft bazaar walk along recreated streets caps, interacted with typical village artisans and witnessed folk performances, magic show and bullock cart ride set in authentic ambience.  On the whole the trip motivated us to learn crafts.  Children are not only entertained, but the activities also help develop their skills and creativity.
