Illaloor Eechangadu villageSpecial Educational Activities

Village Links

Visits to villages on the outskirts of Chennai are arranged for groups of children. Children are encouraged to question and interact with the villagers and take part in their daily activities. It is a a unique opportunity for city-bred youngsters to understand and appreciate the essence of life in the villages. A walk in the fields and breakfast under big banyan trees are always enjoyed by the participants.

Special programs for village children are also arranged both in the village and at DakshinaChitra.

Heritage Trips

Alamparai KottaiTrips to heritage sites such as Gingee Fort, Kanchipuram, early Pallava caves and Pulicat are arranged and the group is accompanied by our staff and Dr.Suresh an expert guide/historian. Little known facts and tidbits of mysterious history bring the heritage sites alive during these excursions. Students, children and adults can participate and a minimum of 20 persons are required to arrange a trip.
