The first floor of Mahant Ghasidas Memorial Museum is indeed unique as it exhibits the lifestyles of Chhattisgarh. It has display of utensils, coins, ornaments and weapons dug from many locations of Chhattisgarh including Sirpur, Tala, Madku and many others. Also the display of Hindu deities and moieties prevalent during those days. A timeline of language starting from histograms to Sanskrit can be seen here. It has rare collection of masks often used during rituals. There are torcher weapons, collection of musical instruments used by various tribes. If you’re a musician then you’ll be amazed to see a pentatonic flute. Tribes also use to jazz in those days? For a moment this place will have you lost in a totally different world. The way our ancestors connected nature to their daily life is one heck of a remarkable feat. Everything made of wood, clay, stones, bones and similar natural things. And they might not have language through which they could write and communicate. But they had elaborated system of art which can express things way beyond words. Traveling in Chhattisgarh I’ve seen the moieties they’ve sculpted on doors, on the pillars of temples and even on wood. And then at this museum just by looking various things around, connecting them to our journeys and improvising, and when mind just recreates their whole world... its like a movie of a real world. Well, almost. #welcome236 #art #museum #travelcouple #traveler #wanderlust #antique #artefacts #people #wonderfulplaces #carousel #india #lonelyplanet #natgeo #goexplore #worldbestgram #photography #photooftheday #yourshot_india #beautiful #igersindia #amazing #like4like #followme #follow #me #shotoniphone #chhattisgarh (at Mahant Ghasidas Memorial Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDTudychvhJ/?igshid=uvqynhya3gzr
