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

India are displayed in the Sanskriti Museum of Everyday Art. Covering objects used throughout the cycle of life - from childhood to old age - the collection begins with objects from the child's world, moves to those used by the student and the young adult, and those of the settled householder. Finally, the collection traces the time of life when spiritual pursuits traditionally take-over. 

From the common earthen pot that stores drinking water to the giant-sized cultic equestrian figures of the rural Tamil deities of the Aiyyanar cult, a diverse range of objects can be found in the Sanskriti Museum of Indian Terracotta. 

Representative examples of selected traditions of Indian textiles are presented at the Sanskriti Museum of Indian Textiles.
