The Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation opened the Araku Tribal Museum in 1996 to show off the state's native peoples and their rich cultural history. The museum has things like jewellery, hunting tools, and wedding pictures that show how tribal people used to live. As part of the Araku tour packages, you should go to the tribal museum.

Aim of the Araku Tribal Museum

The museum is not a historical site; it aims to teach people about the tribal way of life. It shows the traditions of more than nineteen different tribes that live in the Araku area. Tribal art is all over the walls, and there is a room in the museum where you can watch Mayur and Dhimsa dancing.

Display at the museum 

Interestingly, the museum has a fortune reader who uses a parrot. Even though the bird only speaks the local language, his predictions have come true in the past. You can also relax by taking a bike around the museum or renting a boat and going out to the pond next to it. The two-story building is a great place to buy small items, and the people who work there get some of the money that comes in.
Using mud and real metals, the two-story Araku Tribal Museum shows how people lived in the Araku tribe. The museum was meant to show how the tribal way of life worked by starting with a kitchen full of iron and mud tools.

At the entry, there is an interesting set of ten pictures that show a tribal wedding ceremony. Native American art and drawings from the caves that connect the museum's different areas are painted on the mud walls. The most interesting thing about the tribe museum is the show of native Mayur and Dhimsa dance.

The museum has a collection of clay statues that show them going about their daily lives. There are many tribal artifacts on show, such as jewelry, spears, and cooking tools. People who come to the museum can find all the information they need on the well-stocked signs. You can buy tribal items at a booth in the museum. The traditional Art and Crafts Center at the museum puts on shows and holds workshops to promote traditional art.
