Khadi Museum - New Delhi

A museum is a place where old relics are kept for public show. A visit to a museum adds much to our knowledge of the past. Yesterday, I had a chance to visit a museum in New Delhi. I went there with my friend. It was a huge building divided into various sections. Each section had different exhibits. We went to the museum. First of all, we saw our own galaxy of stars. There were stars painted on the dome ceiling. It was a very good scene. It was felt that we were actually in the galaxy of stars. After that, we saw another section. This section contained weapons of the olden times. There were bows, arrows, swords, daggers, helmets, and spikes. The things were arranged to show the battle scenes. The adjacent room had the household goods of ancient times. These things were dug out from the historical sites. The domestic life of the ancient people was at display. One could see pots, pans, silver ornaments, musical instruments, clothes, and many other things. There were many Indian made things. These have been made by Indian scientists. Solar cookers, solar light system, models of dams and hydroelectric projects were being displayed. After seeing them one can estimate how Indians had made progress after Independence. Now we were tired. We returned to our home in the late evening after enjoying the day.

The experience design of the space can be better.its informative but I expected more. Wish to see adoption of more advanced technology by Indian museums to make it a great learning space.

Very nice place to visit in CP. Just aplosite the big Khadi Store opposite to block A. It has entry ticket of Rs 20 each. It has museum displaying old charkhas. Also there is a big 2.5 tonnes steel charkha on display. There is a well laid garden offering good place to sit, relax and take photos.

Located outside the circle of c.p . Quiet good place with unique statues. Just 20 rupees entry ticket and they will also give you a hanky made up of pure khadi.

A thoroughly different type of nice spot amidst the chaotic Connaught Place, New Delhi. Visiting in the evening hours is better as one can enjoy the colourful lighting arrangement. There is nothing much except some old charkhas and photographs. An entry fee is levied, which probably restricts meaningless visits.

Just a small well designed place with some old different Charkha's from different states all over India and some other countries too. Nice place for people who want to see old or historic stuff.

Nearest metro station is Rajiv chowk on the junction of yellow and blue lanes. The Khadi museum was setup right on the central garden area of cannought place. Celebrating the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhiji, the museum area has a good sit out place installed with a huge steel charakha and a sculpture of 3 monkeys. The inner museum consists of different types of charakha's used in india pre and after independence with information and good detailing. Overall, its aplace to visit with kids and spend some good time and giving knowledge about the charakha and importance of khadi. Entry Ticket - Rs 20/person You'll get a khadi hand kerchief or handspun tricolour thread with each ticket. If helpful give a like.

Just a small and well designed museum. You will find some great historic stuff here. The outer view is cool overall. Easily accessible..entry fees is just rs 20.
