SIDDHAGIRI GRAMJIVAN MUSEUM
Kaneri, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India
Unique in many ways, the Siddhagiri Gramjivan Museum near Kolhapur offers a fascinating insight into the Bara Balutedar system as was practiced in certain villages of Maharashtra till a few decades ago along with introducing visitors to our ancient mythological, royal and prodigal personalities through their life-size sculpture. A visit to the museum is like taking a walk through the past as you come face to face with the life-size recreations of a traditional Marathi village under the ‘Bara Balutedar’ system. Founded and managed by the Siddhagiri Gurukul Trust, the museum’s unique display is believed to be one of Mahatma Gandhi’s wishes brought to reality. It is the brainchild of the late His Holiness Shri Muppin Kadsiddheshwar Swami and his disciple, the 27th authority at present, His Holiness Shri Adrushya Kadsiddheshwar Swami of the Kaneri Math.
