Dakshinachitra, Chennai offers a glimpse of the culture and heritage of the bygone era in South India. It’s by far the most different tourist destination I have seen in Chennai.
Dakshinachitra Museum describes cultural heritage of South India states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andra Pradesh, Kerala.
