Editorial We have great pleasure and satisfaction in bringing out the special issue of Pathik on Museums of Gujarat. It includes valuable research and informative articles on the variety of museums of Gujarat. Museums are the citadel of artifacts and the guardian of our national heritage. They are an important aid to our country's cultural regeneration. A greater integration of muscums with our educational systein helps to spread consciousness of our country's legacy and instil a sense of pride in young people. The idea of museums has changed greatly everywhere in recent years. No longer a passive place for sheltering collections, the contemporary museum has become an active instrument of society in educating, mostly directly but in broader terms it offers something for every age and category of tourists. Since museums present the saga of events from prehistoric times, through the dawn of human civilization till the present day, they collect, preserve and present the tools and artifacts of the past so that the past is not missing from the present. With this in view museums have come to occupy the place of community centres and educational institutions. They are the media for communicating the message of wisdom, national integration and heritage. The publication of this valuable special issue of Pathik on Museums of Gujarat became possible due to the publication grant sanctioned by the department of Archaeology, Gujarat State and to the enthusiatic efforts of writing articles by various scholars on museums and muscum activities in Gujarat and also to untiring services of Krishna Printery. We are heartily thankful to all of them. We acknowledge our thankfulness to Dr. Nirmala Sharma who beyond her busy schedule spared time to design the cover page of this issue.

Museums in Gujarat - New Directions Prof Dr. V. H. Bedekar * AU states in India have their own departments of Archaeology, Archives and Muscums. Gujarat is no exception. But there is an important difference. It was the state of Gujarat which organised an independent Department of Museums in India. This revolutionized the museum development. It underlines the realization that museums are not mere collections or treasure houscs for passive enjoyment. Muscums have to play significant role as institutions for gencral, visual, interdisciplinary, visual cducation. Such cducation can be most effective as informal and lifc-long cducation. Hence muscums required special attention. A confined department saddled with work related to Archive Archacology and Museums would not casily do justice to the needs of modern muscums. This becomes obvious when we find that Archacology in itself demands vast funds to take care of monuments scattered all over Gujarat. Besides, after losing important ancient and pre-historical, protohistorical sites in Pakistan, it became urgent to investigate sites in Gujarat for discovering cvidence of links between prehistory and history. In short it was a wisc decision on the part of Icaders and administrators of Gujarat to sct up a separate Department of Muscums. Gujarat can boast of relatively large number of museums. They represent all categories of muscums. Kutch Muscum is the oldest, established in 1877. Unfortunately it became a victim of great carthquake in January, 2001. Its devastation has taught many lessons to muscologists in planning appropriate buildings for muscums. Many museums were established before Independence. They represent the cultural world views of the dominant socially powerful communities. Many of them were based on the colonial models of muscums. This is evident in their collections of ethnology. Kutch Muscum was followed by Watson museum in Rajkot and (1888) Winchestor muscum in Surat in 1890, Baroda Muscum in 1894, Bartan Muscum, Bhavnagar in 1895, Junagadh Museum in 1901, Lady Wilson Museum, Dharampur in 1928, B.J. Medical College Muscum, Ahmedabad, in 1946, Jamnagar Museum of Antiquities, in 1946, Darbar Hall Museum in Junagadh in 1947. These pre-independence muscums in Gujarat tell the story of people and their preoccupations. Museums in those days were considered as treasure houses. They succeeded on focusing on the variety of workmanship and human skills. But they remained silent about the socio-economical situation of the individuals or groups who were continuing their traditional occupations. In very few displays there was reference to the context. Visitors were not shown with visual material or with audio recordings, the living cnvironments of the workers, or the processes. Only the finished end-products were on display. There were no interviews of the actual * Ex. Professor and Head, Dept. of Museology, M.S. University of Baroda, Baroda ulos. Elulrais - elsel.-4d.-Bal., 2001.8 For Private and Personal Use Only

people who created the masterpieces of arts and crafts. These people were carriers of age-old traditions. By representing them it was possible to help them in their self-esteem. It was British imperialists who succeeded in effacing peoples' pride in their creativity. By separating the craftsmen from their creations the museums unconsciously de-humanized the local traditional crafts. The specimens on display were treated as mcrc merchandise which were created for markcts. This was quite contrary to the honourablc collaborative place which craftsmen had in actual territorial- cultural situations. It is necessary to impress on the museum authorities and museum workers that after independence, museums in Gujarat ought to accept now missions. The pre-occupation with fragmentary collections of material as ends-in-themselves must be replaced with holistic view "Nature-in-relation to man" and "crafts-in-relation to the craftsmen should be now slogans. Each muscum object is capable of telling a story far beyond its material existence. If this ideal is overlooked, the museums will serve only the specialists who are knowledgable of the things. When British started muscums they were scholar-collectors of objects. They wanted indigenous material to be placed in muscums for protection so that other scholars can study them. The early museum men never found out what their visitors required or expected. There was a big gap between what the lay visitors knew or capable of knowing and what the muscums wanted to convey. In those days if the muscums had more realistic ideas, they would have helped all categories of visitors to know and enjoy the material on display. The failure of the muscums led to the common notion that museums are of history and they have hardly any relevance to the problems of visiting population today. The museums in the past never were willing to accept the responsibility of solving problems of people. Muscums were indifferent to society at large. They could not realize that success of museums lies in not only what takes place inside muscums but how they influence the society. It is ncecessary to accept new yardsticks of judging the effectiveness of museum services in Gujarat. It is better to appreciate that if museums care their collections of objects, the motivation for it is the connections between "objectsand-society", not "objects-and-museums". Collections cnter into museuns because they are required to tell the story of man. So the worth of a museum is not assessed in terms of the number of objects it possesses but how most of the visitors are provided opportunities to usc thc muscun resources. The use of the word "resourcc" implics potentiality of uses. A muscum is held to be a common man's university. An important step in putting muscum facilities to actual uses is to understand the concept of "de-massification". In simple words, it means not to trcat possible users as mcrc numbers or alike or same. Museums must study the vital differences which individuals and groups show in their motivations, expectations and fields of interest. A service to society should start from what various groups want, not what museum curators want to offer. It is a pcoplc-oricnted and active as dulciais - Altel.-d. al., 2001.4 For Private and Personal Use Only

muscological approach. All media have demonstrated that the secret of popularity is found in attracting attention, then arousing curiosity and afterwards communicating meaningfully. In post-Independence Gujarat, the real progress of museums was found in those institutions which were organized on private initiative. They were not under control of inflexible bureaucracy. They remained in direct touch with the target audiences. They could innovate till they succeeded in their plans. Many examples can be cited of such enterprising muscum experiments. The Calico Museum of Textiles is a shining example of what innovative ideas can achieve. The Calico Muscum of Textiles in India was opened by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on 12th February, 1949. It was sponsored by the Calico Mills of Ahmedabad. It was the first muscum in Gujarat which followed the contemporary principles of design. In view of the need for conservation of its precious textile collections. Calico Muscum was the first museum in Gujarat which had installed with air-conditioning and artificial lighting. Textiles suffer when exposed to sun light and day light. The exhibitions were designed by the specialists on the staff of the textile Mill. They accepted the challenge of ideal popular education. Visitors were informed about the raw material out of which textile is manufactured. One understands how the raw material of cotton, linen, wool, silk, nylon and their combinations are processed. The processes of spinning and weaving are explained. The contemporary techniques are displayed against the backdrop of historical developments of techniques. Wonderful exhibit on differences in "weaves" is a masterpiece in muscological terms. It ought to inspire muscum educators in Gujarat to take up similar projects in which complex subjects can become both meaningful and visually interesting to lay visitors. Museums in Gujarat ought to highlight distinct traditions and excellence of local craftsmen. The Calico Muscum is busy with the historical study of texiles starting with Patolas in which designs are dyed into yarn before weaving. Also it has explained the technique of picchavais which serve as figural wall hangings in Vaishnava temples of the Vallabhacharya sect. A visit to the Calico Muscum can prove why India has been famous for her textiles. Not satisfied with showing the glory of the past textile traditions, the Calico Muscum places equal if not more emphasis on the distinct contemporary art of textiles in India. Calico muscum wants to study antique examples but does not encourage their imitations. It is rightly claimed that while reforms of Indian museums have been discussed and contemplated by many, the Calico Muscum has set a tangible example in the arca of visual education and projection of the glory of Indian traditions. The museum has a reference gallery and with the help of visual aids and selected original material, the following themes are illustrated. (1) The principal natural and artificial fibres, their sources and by-products. (2) Counts of cotton yarn and the basic weaves. (3) The evolution of the tools of textile production.

textiles. (5) Indian costumes through ages, (6) From cotton to cloth in a modern Textile factory (7) The economic history of India with reference to textiles. The private enterprise has another achievement to its credit in Gujarat. It is observed that Indian muscum movement is an urban phenomenon. This is so even if most of the people live in small towns or villages. Gujarat was one of the pioneers in shifting the muscological focus to the countryside. As an evidence of that one can cite thc cstablishment of the Children's Museuin in Amreli, in the year 1955 Late Padmashri Prataprai Mehta conceived this brilliant idea. Instead of running to government for support the museum was managed by a private trust. That arrangement freed the pioneering muscum from bureaucratic strangle hoid. The museum was a part of an All-India movement for Childrens' museums. Many innovative themes were selected in that museum. A small Zoo and a Planetarium are added for children's cducation. Toys from different Indian states are given pride of place in vicw of the target andicnce. Yet the cmphasis in selecting toys is to explain scientific principles. To protect the uniquc muscum from financial difficulties, some part of the land given to museum is used for building a moderate and compatible commercial complex with a view of securing rent to support museum activities which are remarkably innovative. Unfortunately, the cxample of the Amreli museum is not emulated in other places in the countryside of Gujarat. The government of Gujarat has a separate department to develop centres for propagating rural Technology and rural Technological Parks, When I was contacted in that connection, I visited the department in Gandhinagar and offered my ideas. In our opinion, such a park should have a rural childrens museum in which the children can see and operate means of modern technology relevant to agro-industries in Gujarat, besides environment and local cultural traditions. It will be appropriate here to refer to one more muscum as an example of private cntcrprisc. It is of Shreyas Folk Museum in Ahmedabad city. It was established in the year 1974 by Smt. Leona Mangaldas who was a pioneer in the field of education. Its scope is the traditional culture of Gujarat villages cspecially of Kutch and Saurashtra. The museum is well conccived in terms of presentation and educational activities, in two large halls. But Sections of farmer's house and Kathi house where holistic displays are installed about a thousand well documented original objects are presented. 300 of them are cmbroidered, 150 of woodwork, 75 silken objects, 75 of bead work, 75 of metal ware, 70 stonc, others are Brocade picccs, a leather and silver. Both ruling and pastoral communities of Gujarat are presented in their material culture contexts. The depth of the presentation is not found in other cthnological galleries of Gujarat where presentation appears superficial if not inisleading. For example Kathi population is dealt with all 19 subgroups such as Lalu, Deriya, Vaikha, Karapada, Vadada, Vikma, Kagda, Bhojak, Dhak, Vajasi, Govalia, Kadadia, Gaiya, Vajmal, Tor, Jogia, Boghra, Kasturia and Hudad.

19 groups comprise, the Vala Kathi. The other Khuman Kathi have nine main divisions like Chandu, Chandsur, Mangari, Man, Motiar, Jamaniyar, Jogia, Lunasar, Valand. Morcover, there are five groups of Khachar Kathi such as Ramani, Rakhani, Godakha, Thebhani and Mokani. The other ruler community in Gujarat is of Rajput with its own subdivisions. The Rajputs of modern Gujarat are distinguishable on the basis of their claims of descendence from the former ruling dynasties such as Chavda, Chudasama, Chauhan, Gohil, Jadeja, Jhala, Parmar, Solanki, Rathord, Vaghela etc. In the matter of life styles and handicrafts the various groups share some commonalities yet maintain distinctions which reinforce their identities. A visit to the Shreyas Muscum is an enlightening experience. Besides the ruling communities, the museum also deals with the material culture of the pastoral communities of Gujarat like Rabari, Bharvad, Charan and Ahir in addition to the communities of Banni and Paccham are also dealt with in the museum. In addition to these groups, there is a satisfactory presentation of material belonging to farming communities like Kanbi, Sathvara, Mer, Bhansali, Koli, Ahir, Kharak, Aboti, Sagar. The main Kanbi group has subdivisions like Leva, Kadva, Anjana, Uda and Pirana. One can appreciate the unique work of the Shreyas Muscum by visiting it again and again to add to one's cultural insights into the indigenous communities of Gujarat. Its example should inspire young muscologists to explore new directions of muscum development. The Department of Museology was established in the year 1952. It was the first specialized department in Indian universities to serve the purpose of muscum development. It is an evidence of the foresight of the educational leadership in Gujarat. Muscology cannot be equated to training for muscum jobs. Muscology also deals with the philosophy of muscum work in social context. The Department of Muscology of the M.S. University of Baroda was expected to deal with the present problems of museums and to provide new concepts and ideals for the future museums. The underlying assumption of muscology is that each object in a museum tells a story far beyond its own limited existence. Museum collections provide evidence of civilizational changes and evolutionary processes. It is to the credit of the Department of Muscology that unlike in other Indian states, it experimented with new ideas. The department was not satisfied with training in muscum techniques. It wanted muscologists with vision of new kinds of museums in the service of society. One of the students who had his training in Muscology at Baroda created a unique museum in Ahmedabad devoted to the subject of Kites and Kite Flying. He collected specimens of Kites of various kinds. The Kites had wonderful colours and designs. He had a very large collection of these Kites which represented a unique heritage of Gujarat. Not only lacs of Rupees are spent every year on kites but it has become an annual festival for celebrations. Men and women of all ages revel the competitions of kite flying. Many explanations are given about the cause pathika dIpotsavAMka - okTo.-nave.-Dise., 2001 2 8 For Private and Personal Use Only

The kitcflying is traced to the pastimes of Nawabs and noblemen. In Gujarat the kites are manufactured by very ablc craftsmen who migrate annually from the North. Not only kites but the special thread immersed in glass-powder is a highly valued product in connection with the kite-flying. The beauty of kites lies in the way colour papers are cut into different slapes and pieced together. It is a very intricate art of joining the different pieces so that the joints are invisiblc. Kites of different shapes and kinds have different names. Similarly the ways in which battles for cutting others' kites in sky require special strategies. They have also different names. Shri Bhanu Shah who collected kites is a passionate lover of kites and kite flying. He created the unique muscum of kites and it was dedicated to the people of Gujarat. The unique muscum was situated in the building of Sanskar Kendra. It represents the heritage of Gujarat. The kitcs are tangible but a lot of intangible heritage is associated with the art of creating kites and flying them enthusiastically. The Kite Muscum is a people's muscum offering opportunities for people's participation. Audio visual mcans can be used to show kites, kitc making, kitc. flying in the Kite Muscum. It is related to a very popular pastime. Hence an exhibition ought to be organized at many places in Gujarat both in urban and rural areas. A few days ago a news appeared in the Times of India Ahmedabad cdition, of 22nd Dec., 2001 under the heading "Vignettes of tribal life here evoke a feeling of humility." The text begins as follows "Verrier Elwin asked Nehru to define his tribal policy. Nehru reportedly replicd that "the whole of the Prime Minister of India's tribal policy can bc summed up in one word - lumility" ! The Tribal Museum of the Tribal Rescarch and Training Institute of Gujarat Vidyapith leaves one with this feeling of humility after secing the vignette of tribal life displayed therc. There are around 63 lakh tribals in Gujarat, belonging to 29 different tribes. The tribal belt in Gujarat starts at Khedbrahma and via the Panchmahals Bharuch and Dangs, ends at Valsad. There is scope for muscums in Gujarat to explain to the people the ccology and socio-political factors which are influencing the tribal ways. New muscological approach does not want tribals as "museum pieces" in their presentation as if thcy are not subject to changes from outside. This work requires constant update of data about the tribal groups based on round-the-year field work. The stereotypes in the minds of public should not be allowed to continue. In fact, representatives of tribals ought to be involved in the museum work related to tribals. The same can be said of many other groups identified in the "People of India" project which has dealt with 4635 communities inhabiting our country. The project has published a National List of Communities. The following communities are found in Gujarat according to the list : ulas.cluirztais - 252.-14.-Eszt., 2001.6 For Private and Personal Use Only

Also they arc known for their occupations in which they have acquired collective skills or specializations. It is the duty of museums of Gujarat that these communities ulas, clunagis - Pulsz.-1a.-bal., 2009 , 99 For Private and Personal Use Only

are studied in details. Both Their material culture and intangible heritage ought to be shown for a complctc understanding of their identities. Morcover, the changes which are taking place in them ought to be communicated with examples based on ficid work. Involvement of the representatives of the concerned communities in the collection of data and interpretation will ensure the appropriate, authentic presentation of the communities in Gujarat museums. The communities will feel that museums do not consider them as outsiders. The ideal is to make new muscums pcoples' institutions which they themsclvcs can use to know their own identities. The next step in this process is to link such identities to the developmental projects of the concerned communities. The old "Ivory Tower" mentality or attitude of the past museums is to involve the museums in the lives of communities and to involve the respected communities in making museums instruments for their self knowledge. One of the areas of muscum work in Gujarat is the inter museum coopcration. This will be a theme for a workshop being planned by the Museums Association of Gujarat. The saying "divided we fall, united we stand," is truc in relation to the fate of muscums in Gujarat. Muscums arc low-priority arcas for the funding agencies. The rise in the complexity of problems of conservation and documentation, identification, data-retricval, demands that all available cxpertise on muscum staff should be put to optimum use. Individual muscums cannot afford to appoint too many specialists because neither they are available in so many numbers nor they have enough work in all kinds of museums. Hence sharing the available expertise is the better option. A news item has appeared in the Times of India Ahmedabad cdition, of 25th Dec. 2001. It states that in Rajkot a historic building in the city which has links with the former years of the father of Nation, Mahatma Gandhi and which is lying in a state of utter neglect may get salvation. It is decided to convert the old building into a museum. Rs.3 crore will be available from the Prime Minister's Relief Fund for the renovation and conversion of the building into a national museum. Rajkot has good museums in the city like thc Watson Museum. The full story of the muscum is published in the Souvenir-cum-Guide Book. It has many scctions and the staff has good experience of organizing new galleries and cducational activities. It is in the fitness of things to suggest that more than hundred year old Watson Muscum should be involved in the work of the new museum in the conversion of the Mohandas Gandhi Vidyalaya building into a national museum in Rajkot. ulas.

Lalbhai Dalpatbhai Museum, Ahmedabad Lalit Kumar Thc Lalbhai Dalpatbhai Museum of art and archaology, Ahmedabad was established in its new building in 1983. Situated in the sylvan environment and amidst several cducational and research institutions, in western part of the city, the museum provides a rare opportunity of aesthetic experience to the students, scholars and people of the city. The museum has two major galleries. The sculpture gallery of the museum is named after the major donor of the collection smt. Madhuri D. Desai, of Bombay. She was the daughter-in-law of the famous jurist Bhulabhai Desai. It is a gallery with a difference. The collection is rich and varied. The oldest sculpture in the gallery dates back to Sunga period (c: 2nd century). The gallery has images of all the major and minor art styles of the last two millennia. Gandhar and Mathura, the two great centres of art of the Kushan period arc represented by some of the finest examples of the school. The Buddha head cast in stucco on the model of Greek god Apollo is perhaps the largest hcad (ht. 63 cm), which is dated to 4th century. The standing image of the god Vishnu from Mathura of c. 3rd century is one of the best-preserved images of this period. An architectural fragment with the river goddess Ganga relieved on it is also one of the carliest images of c. 400, a time when her representation was made for the first time. The oldest cult image of Lord Rama attributed to the Devagarh group of temples, a well-known Vaisnava site near Jhansi, in Uttar Pradesh is housed in this gallery. The image is dated to c. 500 when the cult of Rama might have bcen difficult to comperhend. According to our current understanding the cult of Rama began only after the 12th century. Incidentally, this gem of sculpture remained unidentified for 14 years. This life size image of Lord Rama welcomes the visitors from the left side of the gallery as one enters the museum. Next to it stands Vishnu in marable, a representation of the Lord popularly known as Vaikunth Vishnu but actually, represents the iconic form of his cosmic manifestation, which was revealed by Krishna to Arjuna at the time of the great battle of Kuruksetra. The vyakhyana mudra as shown by his two hands also vouch for his identification, otherwise this mudra is hard to explain in this form of th Karttikeya, the warlord of the gods, is yet another rare icon from central India in the present collection. The Pala rulers of eastern India were great patrons of Indian art. They were responsible for the large production of Buddhist, Saiva and Vaisnava images. Interestingly, the Pala Rulers were Saiva and the women of the royal house were followers of the Buddhism. Religious tolerance was very much observed in this period. * In-charge, L.D.Museum, Ahmedabad. ulas. Elulais - Bilbel.- 1a. Bal., 2001. 2EUR For Private and Personal Use Only

The Visnu, Uma-Mahesvara and Buddha images along with others are put here in a group to represent the art of eastern India. An assorted group of bronzes from the famous Ghogha hoard arc on display. One of the large images of Adinatha in its 24Jina composition is a rare example of the art of the later Akota style. It bears a date 1066 inscribed on its back. The Adinatha, from Sirpur near Nandurbar in Maharastra, is a classic cxample in itself. This rare bronze found its way in the present collection by virtue of its mistaken identity as Buddha, at the hands of Jains of the Sirpur establishment. They feared its discovery might prompt Buddhists to stall their claim over the site. The nine life size sculptures from the Chola kingdom, a rare sight in Indian muscums of North India, adorn the gallery. Siva Daksinamurti, an image of the goc as a grcat teacher of dance, music and sciences, is a rare image for its animated countenance. His open mouth and hands in yakhyana mudra, impart an impressior of a particular moment of his discourse in progress, has been very successfully frozer by the sculptor in this image. This kind of animated representation, never attempter before, makes it a rare example in the history of Indian sculpturc. The goddess Vaishnavi from a local private collection, is yet another sculpture of rare occurrence for it is al unfinished sculpture in the history of Indian sculpture. It represents a phase of carvin just before its completion. It was abandoned for some reasons. On closer, cxamination one can casily observe that the sculpture began to finish the image but soon abandone it for obvious reasons. The broken right hand or the chipped off corner of the lip mig! have prompted him to give up the commission as such images are never consecrate in a temple. Other possibilities cannot be ruled out. Curiously enough the image tha was of no value to a temple project escaped the waggerics of time and found he ultimate destination in this muscum. The portrait sculpture of Jaisimha Siddharaja dated - 1285, is a rare sculptu: from a group of other royal portrait images from Harij. These were done after h lifetime by one Thakker Vilhana. Other noted examples in the collection inclus Brahmanical bronzes from south India, and western India. Other cxamples of art display are not less important in the history of Indian art. In this way art from all 1 four quarters of the country give this gallery a rare and distinct status of a nation gallery of Indian sculpture (after the National Museum, New Delhi). The collection is cqually rich in the area of other forms of visual art. T museum has the finest collection of the Gujarati Painting style in the world housed the Muni Punyavijayji Gallery. Muni Punyavijayaji, an erudite Jain scholar and Sht Kasturbhai, the industrialist, were responsible for the cstablishment of the L.D. Instit of Indology, Ahmedabad in 1956. The finest examples of the illustrated Jain mar scripts in this collection come from Muniji's collection. The Kalakacaryakatha of 1430 is a precursor of the Mandu stylc of Jain painting.

painted by Govinda at Matar in 1583 is a hallmark of the style in the history of manuscript painting. The illuminated wooden book-cover of a palm leaf manuscirpt of the 12th century is one of the gems of this collection. This unrivalled example shows on its inner side eight of the sixteen vidyadevis, the Jain goddesses of learning, along with its patron donor. The collection has about a dozen such rare manuscript book covers. Among the scores of cloth paintings, the Panchtirthi pata dated 1433 is the oldest extant example. According to its colophon it was painted at Champaner. Interestingly, a part of this long scroll is in another museum in Ahmedabad. Cosmological diagrammes representing the morphology of the cosmos were famous among Jains for its didactic use and so were the game of wisdom, Jnanabazi diagrammes, popularly known as snake and ladder. The muscum has a good collection of such paintings. The Eight Continents Astadvipa pata, formerly from the Kasturbhai Collection, Ahmedabad, is one such rare and unrivalled example. Also on display are the Jain mystic diagrammes of rare conception. The miniatures on display include a cross-section of Rajasthani paintings represented by Malwa, Mewar, Marwar, Bikaner, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Sirohi, Aurangabad and Paithani paintings. The artists retrenched from the royal workshops of the Mughals painted the Naladamayanti Rasa paintings of this collection. One such artist also painted the famous illustrated letter of invitation from Agra. His name was Ustad Salivahan. Jains usually sent such invitation letters in the form of long scrolls to their spiritual preceptors, inviting them to their place to spend the rainy season, when they give up a wanderers' life. The Jain community of Agra sent this letter in 1610 to Acharya Vijayasenasuri who was then resident at Patan in Gujarat. The scroll is a historical document. It commemorates and documents the famous event of granting royal order, firman, to observe non-killing during the Jain festival of Paryusana in his empire, in the hall of audience (divanc-am) in Agra fort. The two foreigners, who had just arrived in Agra, Jesuit priest Francisco Corsi and physician William Howkins, are seen on the scroll. They are also seen on several other royal paintings of Jehangir's time. This gallery also highlights woodcarving for which Gujarat was justly famous. The 17th century examples of the narrative panels, from a Jain temple, relate the life scenes of the marriage of Neminath, the 22nd tirthankar. P.T.Munshaw Coin Collection, Ahmedabad, comprises of coins representing the whole history of Indian numismatics. The punch-marked Bentbar from Gandhar, the Larin of Adilshah, Zodiac series of Jehangir to Zalali and Din-e-elahi coin of Akbar find their place in the numismatic section of the gallery. pathika dIpotsavAMka - okTo.-nave.-Dise., 2001 - 28 For Private and Personal Use Only

Utensils Museum of Vishala, Ahmedabad Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir Subhash Brahmbhatt* Utensils belong to that class of cultural objects which have for ages been an integral part of everyday life. These utensils are displayed in the utensil Museums with a remarkable degree of aesthetic awareness and tremendous sense of usability combined with practicality and beauty. Now a days steel utensils have taken place for copper utensils in household use. In very few houses we can see the old copper vessels. When Mr. Surendra Patel was small, he used to watch with great interest a small display of utensils on the shelves of his house. When he saw beautiful metal utensils being sold for their weight and melted down to be reshaped, his immediate reaction was to save these traditional forms before they were lost for ever. This is not an income generating activity. Mr. Patel has been facing several financial pressure from time to time. He has been striving to obtain support from the various public agencies but so far hardly any assistance has come forth. The Government of Gujarat has encouraged Mr. Patel's team from time to time. The museum has been included as an important part of the tourist's itinerary of Ahmedabad followed by the Gujarat Tourism Development Corporation. The museum has generated tremendous awareness among the public about the value of our cultural heritage and that an average of 40 to 60 visitors come daily. It is interesting to note that, when an ancient tradition of technology modernizes due to the advent of new material, there is a slow transitional process from the old to the new situation. The credit for this unusual museum gocs entirely to the genius of the founder Mr. Surendra Patel. It is a new muscum barely 18 years old and is exclusively concerned with Indian utensils. It is a unique museum of utensils. Mr. Patel has collected these utensils from all over India. It's main collection is from Gujarat. The utensils museum display 2500 pieces which represent metal objects. There are different shapes of pots, bowls, furniture, storage container for clothes, money and food, etc. and a wide range of cooking vesssels which is mostly used in villages. Among these are some beautiful specimens of 'Bidri' ware, where the base metal- usually bell metal has been engraved with designs and patterns filled with silver and even gold, 99% of this museum house objects have been patronized by the ruling houses of the Mauryas, Guptas, the Cholas, the Rajputs and Mughals. The use of some utensils is as follows: (1) Tambakundi This huge potsar meant for storing water or cooking. The ring handles are attached to them to facilitate carrying and shifting.

This pot is constructec by joining together the bowl - shaped base and the bell shapped upper part made from hammered sheets of copper. The Lota of this shape is known all over Gujarat as Parsi Lota probably because of its predominant association with them This design of Lota is ideally suited for the traditional Indian way of drinking water by pouring it into the mouth without the lips touching the vessel itself.

An imposing equestrian statue of the late Maharaja Sayajirao III Gaekwad of Baroda, at the entrance of the park, heralds visitors into the beautiful garden, which leads them quite unmistakably to the muscum building. The Baroda Muscum was founded in the year 1887 by Maharaja Sayajirao III Gackwad of Baroda, a great-enlightened visionary amongst the Indian princes, and the rightful pioneer of this institution. The museum is one of the many institutions, which this benevolent ruler created for the welfare and education of his subjects. His foresight and taste were responsible for its unique and varied collections. He collected these priceless finds by often making numerous trips to many distant countries. He went about it systematically-buying them himself or entrusting various scholars and art connoisseurs to do this special job. It is on account of this exclusive, choice collection that the Baroda Museum to-day possesses some very rare exhibits and enjoys an international reputation, being considered as one of the best in the East. The foundation stone of the museum building was laid in 1887 A.D and the building was completed in 1894. The construction of the Picture Gallery building began in 1908 and was completed in 1914; but the gallery could only be opened in 1921, as the transport of the collection of European paintings to India was not possible until after World War I. Later, the open galleries around both the buildings were converted into additional exhibition rooms and an Open-air Archeological Section was also constructed. The Museum and Picture Gallery, Baroda, are two separate two-storied building built in the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture. The two buildings were specially designed by the English Architects, Mr. R.F.Chisholm, F.R.I.B.A., the then consulting State Architect, and Major R.N.Mant, R.E. The general outline of the museum building is in conformity with the traditional local Maratha architecture of wooden framework filled with brick walls. But the ground floor has the pure European style, including a cornic decorated with a plaster copy of Parthenon frieze; the south porch rising on a vast flight of steps is decorated with carly and later Mughal forms. The Picture Gallery building is also a two-storied structures but somewhat smaller. It is designed in simple European brick style, but has Indian columns and open pavilions of the roof. The two buildings are connected by a covered bridge passage, beneath which the entrance to the buildings taken together is about 40,000 sq.ft. Plan of the Building & Layout of the Galleries The ground plan 8 shows the interior arrangement of the two buildings. Attempt has been made to display the collections according to a uniform plan as far, as is consistent with the character of the building, availability of space and protection of the exhibits. The basement contains some stores, workrooms, lecture theatre, and conservation laboratory and a part of the Natural History Sections. Exhibits in the central portion of the ground floor afford a survey of Indian Civilization and Art in chronological sequence, beginning with the small castern room containing Pre-historic and pathika dIpotsavAMka - okTo.-nave.-Dise., 2001 2 34 For Private and Personal Use Only

Profile and Scope of the Museum of Archaeology Ambika Patel* The State of Gujarat is rich with muscums for their variety and number. This great varicty of museums ranges from encyclopedic ones like Baroda Museum and Picture Gallery to specialised muscums like Calico Muscum. Among them the Museum of Archacology, Department of Archacology, Faculty of Arts, M.S.University has its own place as a University departmental muscum. It is specialised for its archaeological nature with high authenticity. So far no work has been donc towards either understanding the profile of this muscum or for providing information regarding the museum. No published information is available regarding its collection, purposes, documentation, type of display, activities and communication programmes etc. Museums assume an active role among different communities in a nation. These also aspire to contributo positively in appropriate ways for the social development, education, culture and the general progress of the country. Being a university as well as departmental muscum, target audience of our museum is at a higher level. They range from school children to cminent scholars of various subjects. Unfortunately lacunas are more in the process of functioning of this departmental muscum such as dcarth of personnel, space and funding. Establishment and History : As a result of the sincere effort of Shrimati Hansa Mehta, the first Vice Chancellor of the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Archacology was introduced as a subject to be taught in this university in 1950. It was a historic decision, taken for the scientific management of cultural and historical heritage institutionally. With the help of eminent archacologist, Shri H.D.Sankalia of Deccan College, Pune, this university was able to start the Department of Archcology. Sankalia sent one of his best students. B.Subbarao to teach Archacology in M.S.University. Thus in 1951 the Department of Archaeology started functioning with Shri Subbarao as its founder member. In the beginning the Department was associated with Archacology Departments of Central and State Government as well as with other academic institutions for its excavation and exploration projects. The various explorations and excavations conducted by the Department from its cstablishment in 1951 to 1956, led to the gathering of large number of archacological materials. In view of the preservation of cxplored and excavated materials, a small museum was set up in this Department in 1956. Increased collection of archacological materials year after year made the authorities to appoint a person to manage the museum and tcach at the postgraduate level as well. Late Prof. R.N.Mehta was appointed as the first curator cum lecturer in the Department of Archaeology * Department of Archacology and Ancient Hisotry, Faculty of Arts, M.S.University of Baroda ulas.

keeping in view of the aforesaid objectives. With the help of the funding from Uni versity Grants Commission (Rs. 4,25,000/-) a new building was built for Departmen of Archacology and Ancient History in 1960. Two halls on the ground floor wer allotted for the museum and thus the Muscum of Archacology started functioning. Collection and Storage: The collection of the museum consists of a wide range of objects like stone tools, pottery, terracotta objects, beads, shell objects, metal objects, sculptures etc belonging to various cultural periods. Our noteworth collections are, Lower Palaeolithic material from Jogpura, Mesolithic tools from rock-shelter at Tarsang, Chalcolithic blade: and carly Harappan remains from Datarana, pre-Harappan pot burial from Nagwada Harappan shell industry from Nageshwar, Mature Harappan material remains and seals from Bagasra, Zinc distillation furnace from Zawar, relic casket containing bodily remains of Buddha and terracotta sculptures of Buddha in Dhyani mudra from Devnimor and Medieval remains from Champaner. As mentioned earlier, the main mode of collection is exploration and excava tion. As the excavated material comes from the various sites year after year, the collection of the department is increasing and hence problem in storage arises. The Department has a big undergound cellar (26 m x 8m x 2.43m) for its reserve collec tion. The store/cellar is situated in the basement of the main departmental building. I is comprised of one hall (26 m x 9m) and two small rooms. This hall is used not only for the storage of antiquities but also for the storage of various materials and equipmen used for excavations. Hence there is an urgent need for systematic documentation of the muscum collection. The artifacts are kept in such a manner that they are casily traceable. Apart from the main storage, purpose of the store should be facilitated to have one section where materials such as those photographed and drawn antiquities of various sites are kept for ready reference. Documentation: It is universally recognised that, as the role of muscum and its opportunities increases, more importance should be given to documentation. This is essential for active practical use of the collection. Documentation is the precise information classified in a manner to make it readily available and acts as a control and index of the museum resources. As archaeological museums are meant either exclusively or largely for antiquarian exhibits, emphasis should be made in registration procedures, furnishing precise permanent unchallengable evidence of authenticity. In long run this can even discourage theft, smuggling, illicit trade etc. Prof. R.N.Mehta developed a basic documentation system during his time. He exercised documentation of the unearthed antiquities in the field in antiquity register as well as in antiquity card. The antiquity register provides information regarding the date pathika - dIpotsavAMka - okTo.-nave.-Dise., 2001 - 51 For Private and Personal Use Only

Page #60
of discovery, the description of the object, its material, its exact location in the site by providing layer, depth, trench number, and remarks. The Antiquity. card also provides more or less similar information. It is tied along with the antiquity at the site itself before packing so as to enhance accuracy in identification after it reaches the museum. Further documentation of the same had been done after it reached in the museum. Entry register, accession register and cataloguc card were used for documentation. In the entry register, the identifying number, source, date of cntry, condition of the material, remark etc. were registered. In the accession register, accession number, identification of the material description of the material, period, location, find spot etc. were recorded. In the catalogue card, museum number, locus, site, Taluka, District, Material, Publication, date of discovery, date of accession, date of acquisition in the museum and photograph of the object are recorded. Unfortunately in subsequent years, the very aspect of proper documentation of the collection is neglected may be lack of personal for the same. Permanent Display The museum is divided into two halls. The first hall is used for temporary exhibitions. The second hall is used for permanent display. The main purpose of the permanent gallery is to present the cultural progress of the country in general and the region of Gujarat in particular. At present in the permanent gallery, antiquities are distributed in 4 table show cases, 6 wall show cascs and few free standing display boards. Excavated remains from Devnimori, Nagara, Navdatoli, Vagad, Loteshwar, Nageshwar, Nagwada and Bagasra constitute a major part of the display in the permanent gallery. The cxhibits are displayed in chronological scquence right from the Palaeolithic to Historic period. The permanent display starts with a brief introduction about archacological data and its inter-disciplinary approaches in interpreting the past. In the comincncing showcases carly man's tools and the environment in which he lived are cxhibited. Man's journey from hunting gathering stage to food production is displayed in the continuing showcases. The objects displayed for portraying the aforesaid stage arc composite tools like lunates, triangles, borers, burins and polished neolithic tools namely celts and axes. Remains of Harappan and other chalcolithic cultures followed by megalithic and carly historic -i.e. Mauryan, Kshatrap and Gupta related objects are displayed in the succeeding cases. The showcase of Harappan materials display an array of dish-on-stand, bowls, goblets, parts of perforated jar, terracotta ear studs, triangular cakes, shell objects, copper objects, semiprecious stone beads and steatite scals. The chalcolithic culture is represented by display of ceramics from"Navdatoli and Jorwc. The Mcgalithic scction is an array of ceramics of black and red ware with few illustrations of burials and iron objects displayed on the wall. The case of early historic material displays shell objects, bone objects, terracotta toy carts, animal figurines, Roman amphorac, red polished warc, Kshatrap coins and miniature sculptures from Gujarat. Besides the aforesaid objects, amazing monumental evidences of Devnimori stupa, vihara, seated terracotta Buddha sculptures and replica of the astounding relic ulas duniais - 24 $21.-A.-G., 2001.43 For Private and Personal Use Only

casket are displayed in the same section. The showcase attributed for Mauryan period is represented by few replicas collected from Mathura muscum and huge national emblem showing Ashokan capital. The showcase clucidating Gupta culture display few replicas highlighting Gupta art and sculpture. The schematic table showing the political and social history of India right from ancient to modern time drawn on the wall is 'very well informative to students and scholars. The last freestanding display board provides a bricf idea of the important excavations carried out by the Department of Archacology and Ancient history, Temporary Exhibitions Currently the temporary hall is holding an exhibition on Technology and Craft of Indus civilization. This exhibition deals with some aspects of craft production and technology in the Harappan phase of the Indus valley Tradition (2600-1900 BC). We have highlighted recent discoveries about Harappan tcclinology that serves to distinguish this society from others. Antecedent noteworthy cxhibitions organised by our museum were, 1965 - "Archacological finds of Nagara-An carly Historic Port of Gujarat" 1965 - "Archaeological finds from Devnimori'' 1967 - "Exhibition on Tripuri, Jokha and Dhatva'' 1970 - "Champaner through the Ages 1982 - "Progressive land use in Gujarat state" 1983 - "Zinc Metallurgy of Ancient India." This exhibition was later sclected for Festival of India, USA 1983. 1984 - "Shell Industry of the Indus Valley Civilzation." 1986 - "Agricultural Communities of Gujarat" 1989 - "French Photographic Exhibition on Evolution of Man" 1990 - "Stone bead Industry of Khambhat : An Ethno-Archaeological Perspective" 1996 - "Kings and Coins : Exhibition on coins of Gujarat." 1999 - "Past and Present - Stone bcad making in India" - A temporary exhibition displayed at Prince of Wales Museuin, Bombay 2001 - "Technology and Craft of Indus Valley Civilization", currently on display. Publication : Museum publication is playing a vital role in popularising the museum and providing information of muscum collection and activities as well. The Department of Archaeology and Ancient History had regular publications such as its various, cxcavation reports, monographs and books. The muscum had only one independent publication till date. This was a lcaflct published in 1989 to supplement the temporary cxhibition entitled, "Bead manufacturing in Khambhat". The museum is targeted a progressive plan of publishing picture post cards of masterpieces of its collection and a catalogue for the museum by the end of this academic year. as . dulriais - dalszi.--.- ., 2001. 43 displays For Private and Personal Use Only

Extension Activities : Muscums offer the unique opportunity in true sense of education by developing imagination and sensitivity of the learner by the display of original objects. The museum is providing regular activities such as slide shows, guide lectures, gallery talks etc. for school children. The aforesaid activities are well planned and are conducted in very efficient manner to develop the sense of appreciation of the objects. During gallery talk cimphasis is always given to correct terminology and precise expression. This museum also organises various temporary exhibitions, which are educative and informative for the school as well as university students. Activity sheets for the school children will be ready within few months. After the museum visit, the activity sheets will be distributed among the children. They will be asked to do certain exercises regarding which they have already observed inside the museum. The museum is looking forward to extend its communication to the public through guide books, leaflets, picture books, picture post cards, calendars, brochures, transparencies, catalogue, hand lists monographs, activity sheets etc. Conclusion : The museum of Archacology contains very important artifacts and great works of art of Harappan and Kshatrap period discovered from various sites of Gujarat which no student of archacology can afford to ignore. The collection of Harappan ceramics is of great importance for drawing parallels and differences between the ceramics of corresponding ages in and out of the Indian sub-continent. The display of materials like Roman Amphorac and related illustration in the carly-historic showcase magnifies the viewer's understanding of mercantile activities of this period. The Devnimori remains are amazing for the visitor for its monumental as well as sculptural art. By coming to know the articles used by the people of the past closely, the students will become better acquainted with the past cultures instead of remaining clusive of perception. The museum is in the process of providing all possible facilities such as access to the store-collection, supply of photographs and slides to students, artists, scholars etc. We are trying to "develop computer based documentation system for the collection. A visit to this museum affords a rich and useful experience to any visitor irrespective of his/her age and educational background. References: 1.

Jaina Art Through the Ages in the Vadodara Museum (Sayajibaug) R. D. Parmart The Vadodara Muscun Possesses very rich collection on Jaina Art. Akota Jain bronze-images are world famous, which arc on display in the museum. P.Banerjce writes, "The Jainas claim a high antiquity for their religion and believe in 24 Jinas or Tirthankara Rishabha is the first and Vardhmana Mahavira is the last of these Tirthankaras. A Jaina, according to Jain belief is one who has gained omniscience, not by the help of a teacher nor by the revelation of the Vedas, but by his own power. Whatever may be the historicity of the carlier Tirtharkaras, there is no doubt that last two, i.c. Parscanatha and Vardhamana Mahavira were historical persons. Parsvanatha flourished in the 3th century B.C.and is considered by some to be the real founder of Jainism. He cnjoyed upon his followers four vows; not to injure life, to speak the truth, not to steal and not to own property To these Mahavira added one i.c. the vow of Chastity or Cclibacy. Parsvanatha allowed his followers to wear clothes while Mahavira advocated completc nudity. Mahavira was born in a Kshatriya family of North Bihar in about 599 B.C. He passed away at the age of 72 in about 527 B.C. At the age of thiry he became a monk and gained omoiscience through austerities and ineditation lasting for twelve years. He spent his last thirty years in preaching his religion and organising his order of ascetics, The history of the Jaina art is long and varicd, constituting an important phase of Indian art Following 73 exhibits displayed in the Industrial Art Section and Archaeological Section of the Vadodara Museum.

University Museum - Problems and Prospects Miss Sayed Rafiqa Sultana* Miss Sayed Afroz Sultana+ Muscums in modern times are expected to serve various needs. They are also centres of education and academic, cultural institutes. Museums owe their origin and growth to the love of knowledge i.c. future growth, reputation, research and educational activities. Growth of reason is a fundamental part of museum activities. Research on muscum collection is a very important activity. University muscum has a strong bias for interpretative and research oriented work and will have such a central focus on work study, like discussions, seminars and assignments, interpreting the objects for research, education and for education and appreciation by the people. Teaching in the museum is a very strong media: there is a regular link between the class room and the museum galleries and students learn quickly, steadily and accurately. University museum is normally attached to the department dealing with a specific discipline such as history and culture, geology, zoology, botany and Anthropology. It is a small museum with restricted functions acts as an aid in research, in teaching of advanced students of a particular subject and functioning well as effective teaching of the subjects at scholar level. As we are reaching the 21st century, it is clear that muscum's concept and museum developments are fast changing so that muscum faces complex problems and puzzles. Collection The Heart of Museum The main problem of university muscum is collection. Collection is the heart of the muscum. I mean to say museums are nothing without their collections, and collection are nothing without research. In university museums collections are very weak, though they are teaching aid, research and educational centres. They have no collections according to subjects and syllabus. By giving practical training, subject concepts are clear. Many times scholar has to be satisfied with charts, photographs, slides and replicas. * Curator cum Lecturer, Gujarat Vidyapith, Ahmedabad. + Asstt. Curator S.P. University Museum, Vallabh Vidyanagar. Many agencies or departments have original duplicate objects lying in their stores though they are not useful in any purpose, for example, department of archaeology, zoology, botany etc. If we maintain the policy to gift and long term loans, the objects to the teaching aid muscum, by this way university museum will be rich and fulfil the teaching purpose and national culture will be saved.

Excavation Director, Department of Archacological Survey of India, and I discussed with him this subject. He also agreed with my request and suggestions but he was sorry that there is no provision to gift or loans for the antiques. Building & Budget - Backbone of Museum : Muscuin's first need is collection and secondary should have a separate building to run its function well and satisfy visitors, students and rescarch workers. Many university museums have prestige as cducational institution but they have no separate building. M.S. University is running museology and archacology courses but it has no university muesum, has only one big gallery. Many universitics have only vacant rooms or a big hall can be occupied as a nuseum gallery. (Gujarat has only one universty muscum i.e. Sardar Patel University Museum - ond ycar back got a separate building). It is difficult for a curator to run activities, because sometimes it is used as a class room, work room, exhibition hall, laboratory office ctc. University museum falls in the category of a small museum, attached to a department and dealing with a specific discipline. Budget problem also plays a very important role. Its budget is always slender and unlikely to support the requirements. Programmes and temporary activities in a university muscum is a challenge for any curator. It has limited space and no prospect for expansion, where he may find high density to devclop strong system. Many times the requirements of a curator are neglected like staff, materials, space, laboratory. Many times they have argued that small muscums are not in a position to house high quality. Staff-problems, Curator in Teaching Rolc University museums have combined posts/lecturer and curator posts, and in universites it is becoming more common - often in response to staff cut-backs. Time spent on tcaching commitments will detract from curatorial duties, but the arrangement will be rcconsidered if problems do arise. Many times curators have to convincc a long panel of the heads. (Vice Chancellor, Registrar, Dean, Head of the Department ctc.) If curator wants some changes in the muscum or to do some activity, he/she has to convince all these people. Prospects University muscuin creates learning activities, intelligence, subjective concept and provides the young students with a rich context in which to demonstrate. When students see the original material and personally cngage with it, and are led to think through ideas, information, collect data, test theories and apply their common sense. University Muscum as Computer Educational Center Many universities have their teaching computer centre. So the university museum has good opportunity to develop a computer education centre. It is very useful ulus o Elulzais - ulsel.-4a. Cal., 2009 F3 For Private and Personal Use Only

o demonstrate effective cducational programmes. It can fced historical cultural data, or students in their study to focus cultural development, newly excavated sites and heir relevant antiqutics. This centre helps the muscum to expand the cultural educaional activities, research works, to give details of new datas. For examples they include hc details of coins, stone, tools pottery and objects which are in the museum. In my nuseum (ic. Gujarat Vidyapith Muscum) archacological collections are included like periodicals, pottery, coins, terra-cotta objccts etc. It is very beneficial to students and researchers. Visual Education : University muscum is the centre for cducation and specially the activities' cenre. In Visual education students come to a muscum where they should be taught about the details of the objects. It is possiblc to develop constructive programmes to encourage and to create interest in the object. Publications : Muscums have generated a new perspective on education. Traditionally museums have supplemented learning, cducational focused institution. Students can get maximum advantage in muscums. Muscum publications are very beneficial to write dissertation, where they can get datas from the catalogue cards, coin cards, bulletins, journals ctc. University muscums have benefit of numbers of visitors, students and researchers, professors and lectures, Universites have their own big and vast librarics so good a facility of book reference. If muscums are ncarby library, readers can also take advantage and curator can get subjective expert personality for subjective problems. University muscum is the expanded mission. It develops the understanding of the nature of teaching through rescarch, cxperimentation collaboration, use of new technology and applies the understanding to all aspects of the museums's public dimension activities. ulas.

The Voyage of Winchester Museum, Surat Dr. Nirmala Sharma Near Mecca bridge in western corner of Rani Baugh or victoria Garden (nov known as Gandhi baugh) in Surat, stood this beautiful building known as Wincheste Museum. It was named after the collector of Surat Mr. Winchester. In 1890 this enthu siastic collector of Surat organised this museum. It was a single hall structure (cove picture) and housed precious collections of Jariwork, Wood work, Sandlewood and metal warc. Like each and every artifact in a museum, speaks its history, this museum i: also very old and has its own interesting history. It has faced natural calamities and ravagcs of time and still survived beyond a century. If we brouse through its journey till today, we find, that it was established in 1890. In 1952 the centenary year of Surai Borough Municipality during its celcbration, decided to develop the Museum and in 1953 the inadequacy of space led to the shifting and reorganising of the museum in a bigger building in the Lely weaving shed at chawk Bazar. In 1956, a planned and still bigger accomodation was constructed for this museum and was opened by late Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri, the then Union Minister for Railways who later became the PrimeMinister of India. In 1957 the new Museum also had a change in name from Winchester Museum to now renamed as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Museum after the name of Shri Vallabhbhai Patel, the Iron man of India who hailed from Gujarat. The blows of Tapti river in 1959 floods, cffected the museum. Since the Muscum was on a low lying arca of Chawkbazar it was tremendosly effected. In 1968 again when ninety percent of Surat city was Under flood water, this Muscum remained three metres immersed in water for ninety six hours drenching all the artifacts. Thanks to thc untiring efforts of the city people who helped save, many of the Art pieces. While things were being placed in order the city was hit by another flood for the third timc that is in 1976. During this flood about 1300 valuable and rare objects were damaged and was a great loss to the Museum. The period from 1959 to 1970 was a period of natural calamity for the city and this calamity effected the Museum terribly. To ensure the safety of these valuable pieces from future disaster, the Surat Municipal corporation raised one more floor above the existing building of Lely weaving shed : In the year 1987, a new Gallery of Historical objects was added, making changes in the picture Gallery below, a philatellic gallery was added. In 1990 after a long struggle for existence this museum reached its contenary year and today to say its an 112 year old history, This Museum today is the pride and possession of Surat Municipal Corporation and is presently called Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Museum, Chawkbazar and stands proudly in the historical city of Surat. It is administered by Surat Municipal Corpora * Faculty, Nirma Institute, Ahmedabad. as cluziais - zilsel.-14.-Bal., 2001 * E4 For Private and Personal Use Only

tion. It is a treasure house of collections. Though in the present times it may appear small in size compared to other Muscums, it is one of the important treasure houses.

The specimens are methodically classfied in Sections and alloted an alphabet in order to facilitate casy documentation. Thc philatelic gallery displays post-Independence stamps. All the postal stamps released since 1947 have been exhibited in correct sequence along with its information. The muscum collection exceeds above Eleven thousand pieces which include gifts too. This Museum serves as a valuable centre of Arts, Culture and cducation, as said it is not only a homage to the past but also an inspiration to the future. ulas. Elulais - zilsei.-10.-Gal., 2009.
