| Vishalla adds to its pride of presenting typical Indian culture through its village-like environment with its old utensils museum named as ‘Vechaar'. The museum found its way into Vishalla periphery three years after ‘Vishalla' was started, that is, on the 27th of April 1981. ‘Vechaar' is one of its kinds in the world of museum as this is the only museum in the world portraying such precious collection of utensils. The designer of Vishalla, Mr. Patel shares his success on the establishment of ‘Vechaar' with Mr. Jyontindra Jain, a well known Anthropologist. Mr. Jain fully supported and guided the cause, and eventually helped in setting up the museum itself. His passion for the cause was so deep that his good work did not stop at that; he himself wrote catalogues for the museum.
A walk around the hut-like museum makes one's heart skip a beat watching at the irrevocable beauty of the utensils. These utensils have been through the changing seasons and times over years. They speak of the unmatchable art-genius of man kind during the old days when they did not have the modern facilities of our times. The designer could not let our rich heritage pass away with these vessels being lost under the smoldering fire! He was determined to preserve them, and today his dream is a reality in the form of Vechaar.
Museum will be closed on Monday.
