South Zone Cultural Centre in Thanjavur in Tamilnadu state is one of many regional cultural centres established by Indian Government to preserve and promote traditional cultural heritage of India.
The South Cultural Zone is one of seven Cultural Zones of India defined and provided with administrative infrastructure by the Government of India.
The South Zone Cultural Centre was established to bring the indigenous cultures of the zone closer to the masses, especially to the rural populace and to the under privileged, and make them understand, experience, educated and enjoy this cultural variety of our country. This will not only help the country to keep alive the cultural values and traditions but will also keep it emotionally integrated.
