Dakshinavalli seeks to research, document, revive and promote the ancient, south Indian craft of close-setted jewellery making. It is an ambitious project to revive the dying craft and to provide an exciting and meaningful vocation to the craftsman. The name Dakshinavalli has been created by the joining of two words, Dakshina meaning southern and Valli meaning a beautiful creeper. Valli is also the name of a Hindu goddess.
