JHAJJAR GURUKUL MUSEUM
Lets Know about Haryana's first and richest collection in museums. In 1955 swami Omanand Saraswati ( Director of jhajjar gurukul and Arya samaj promoter At that time ) was established this museum in Gurukul Jhajjar. Swami Omanand has a keen interest in archaeological and cultural objects. They collect all the objects from village to village which have archaeological sites and places like Haryana, Punjab, Uttar pradesh and collected all these objects in Gurukul. Museum also houses a large variety of big and small idols related to the period of Lord Rama. On display, for example, is the statue of the Panchwati deer, in whose form Ravana appeared to kidnap Sita. There are several exhibits depicting the Mahabharata period. For example, there is a painting showing the Chakravyuha where Abhimnayu was trapped and killed. There is also an image of the chessboard. One can see unbelievably interesting items. There is, for example, Nilgiri’s barrels made of the camel’s skin, a chain without joints, miniaturized agricultural implements inserted into a bottle and a flexible stone found from the hills of Kaliyana.
But now this museum is no more maintained, objects are lying on the floor and tables which makes them no more important and also museum offers no facilities for visitors and also the objects. Although government is making so many plans to create a new face of this museum but unfortunately there is no success till now. Pic credit - @shalini123 ( Heritage_Haryana team
