Rural Museum

The rural museum, surrounded by trees, is a miniature depiction of a typical Indian village. Over 15 life-sized huts, authentically constructed out of baked clay and thatch, depict rural and tribal lifestyles and the life of various artisans. It provides a window to rural life for city dwellers and those who have never visited a rural village. The museum houses sculptures and life size models depicting the day-to-day activities of the rural artisans.
