About

A living-history open-air museum recreating traditional homes, crafts and lifestyles from across South India, built around authentic heritage houses relocated brick by brick from their original villages.

Did you know? Many of DakshinaChitra's houses are not replicas — they are genuine 100-200 year old heritage homes that were carefully dismantled in their original villages and reconstructed here piece by piece.
