Bharatiya Sanskruti Darshan Museum

Bharatiya Sanskriti Darshan Museum is a cultural centre and museum located on College Road in Bhuj, Gujarat. Also known as the Folk Museum, it is one of Gujarat's main cultural centres and a must-see place to visit in Bhuj.

The precious objects were collected by a government servant who visited most regions while on duty. The main aim of keeping all the objects together was to create awareness for the general public. 

The shape of the museum is like a cottage. It has a league stone at the entryway, along with a beautiful carving of rock. The museum has five main sections: Anthropology, Artefacts and Sahitya Chitra. The Bharatiya Sanskriti Darshan Museum has 4500 objects collected from many villages in Gujarat. 

The museum also has local traditional objects for the showcase. It includes Rabari Bhungas, wood, stone carvings and musical instruments. The vintage Kutch textiles are quite interesting, especially if you haven't been to the Calico Museum in Ahmedabad.

Ramsinhji Rathod, a specialist in Kutch traditional art, built the Bharatiya Sanskriti Darshan Museum approximately sixty years ago. It is a museum as well as a cultural centre. It shows the unique and rare crafts and folk arts of Kutch. During the tour of the district, the forest service officials collected the artwork.
