In this second chapter of the series, the focus shifts from the broader architecture of Dakshinchitra to the intimate, tactile soul of its heritage homes. This collection explores the quiet narrative found in the details of the Chettinad and agrarian houses: the warmth of light spilling across a weathered Chettiar entrance door, the intricate geometry of woven grass mats, and the rusted resilience of iron fixtures. From the glow of a vintage Petromax lamp to the stacked terracotta pottery, these images capture the texture of lived history and the silent, enduring presence of domestic life in Southern India.
