A beautiful building built in the British era surrounded by endless green well maintained gardens interspersed with small water bodies will lift the hearts of everyone. The children can enjoy the endless gardens while the grown ups can add to the experience by visiting the museum. If u are visiting from another city make sure to keep a full day aside for a complete experience.

This museum is located close to Amer Fort and is excellent value for money (clean toilets too!). We looked at the exhibitions and then had a live demonstration of how to make a wooden block pattern to use as a print. We continued to another live demonstration of how to block print on fabric. We were able to have a go and were allowed to take our sampler piece away as a souvenir. A very quiet museum which is well worth a visit.

8. DakshinaChitra Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 397 reviews
A unique concept of bringing South India’s cultural traditions all under one roof, Dakshin Chitra is a little out of the city (25 kilometers) but certainly worth your while. Dakshin Chitra actually means "picture of the south" and that’s exactly what you should expect to see. Educational and fun at the same time, this is a center for a complete orientation to Southern India’s four states. You can experience the living traditions, performing arts, music, crafts and architecture on the 10-acre spread. The earthy feel of the structure and its surroundings transport visitors into the cultural milieu. Dakshin Chitra is great for both children and adults as you can try your hand at glass blowing, pottery and traditional games.

On an historical trip through South India we visited Dakshina Chitra. It was a real joy to experience this beautiful collection of antique houses from all four southern-Indian states. The signs in English are informative. There were demonstrations of weaving, pottery, henna application, dances and painting in the various regional styles. There is a good film illustrating the way people lived in the recent past. The shop has a well stocked selection of handcrafted objects and there is a bazaar where you can buy directly from the artists who demonstrate their craft for you. The restaurant serves authentic South Indian food and is reasonably priced. Its strength is highlighting Hindu, Christian and Muslim heritage. There are activities for kids like colouring, shell decorations, handicraft etc. In the evenings there are sometimes excellent dance performances in the amphitheatre. Ample parking space.

Of course, compared to the palaces of Rajasthan, the palace is quite modest. However, it is in excellent condition. It is a pity that you can’t take pictures inside. The main attraction of the palace all the Durbar Hall, where a huge chandelier, presented as a gift by Queen Victoria, hanging directly over the silver throne of the Nawab.

The beautiful gardening around the museum along with nice emotional photos of Netaji around the garden. It took 1 hour to visit the two storied museum. The museum covered birth room, reading room, prism ambiance, library ( you can read books from library), INA (Indian National Army) bank , number of photos of political movements etc. There is a sell counter for different kinds of books, T Shirts etc.
