Briefly describe the history of the museum, its collection and donors.

Bhartiya Adim Jati Sevak Sangh is committed to promote the socio-cultural and economical development of  tribes, both nomadic and denotified, i.e. Vimukta, residing in the deserted faraway vicinities and isolated hamlets. The museum inside the institution exhibits traditional murals on all its sides and dioramas of various tribes through important life events like festivals, acts of animal sacrifice, marriages, and polling during elections.

The museum also houses a collection of garments from various tribes, masks, jewelery, arms, stone tools, hunting gear, jars, bundles of medicines or jadi boots used, bamboo articles, household items, along with musical instruments like Nagaras, flutes and dholak.


Highlights: Mechanically operated galleries of Tribals of India, showcasing the living conditions and activities of the people
