Very beautiful place, full of culture and heritage . Worth a trip with family or friends. Opens at 10 AM. Camera tripod passes are expensive . Photographers ' paradise. Check out the art galleries too.

It epitomises the South Indian cultural heritage . A breeze away from Mamallapuram, Dakshinachitra is a time machine taking you back 150 years to a portrayal of art , folk & craft of a bygone era.

Very cool. If you're only in Chennai once be sure to visit. See some of many Indian states history in one place.

Well maintained south Indian heritage and culture museum located at ECR.
