Bullock Cart RideSchool /College Visits

Students can spend anywhere between 3 hrs to a whole day at DakshinaChitra. Their visit will be handled by the education staff at the center who will guide them at every point making their experience entertaining, creative and educative.

What can they do in a day?

  • Take a guided tour at DakshinaChitra walking in and out of different types of heritage houses learning new things every minute.
  • Play traditional games like pot breaking, pandi, traditional board games etc.
  • Watch and participate in craft demonstrations such as clay pottery, textile weaving, stone carving, basket weaving, palm leaf decoration and much more...
  • On weekends, students get to watch and participate in puppet shows and glass blowing activites (can be arranged on other days also with prior notice).
  • Students can also watch special film shows on a wide range of topics.

Students can have lunch at our premises and for every 20 children one teacher is allowed free. The charges for students are very nominal.

Outreach programs

The Education staff along with craft/ folk dance resource persons can visit your educational institution to interact with your students. Folk dance sessions can be conducted even during the assembly hour for all the students – or it can be done as an alternative to regular physical education classes for a change!
