Manav Sanghralaya at Bhopal

We visited the 'Manav Sanghralaya' - a museum that had miniature villages and replicas of various tribes (current and ancient) and gave us a glimpse into the lifestyle of these tribes. This is what Sacred Groves of India has to say about this place:

Located on a 200-acre campus in Bhopal, the outdoor museum replicates plots of sacred groves from different parts of India, including the orans of Rajasthan and the devarakadus of Karnakata. The museum also celebrates the communities, festivals and rituals associated with each grove. Additionally, the museum has organized a traveling exhibition to build greater ties with local communities and organizations throughout the country, as well as a Sacred Grove Festival.

The pictures below were taken at this museum:






A desert village - but of course it is amidst green surrounding of Bhopal.
