Bishnupur, West Bengal, India
The Acharya Jogesh Chandra Purakriti Bhawan, more commonly known as the Acharya Jogesh Chandra Museum or Bishnupur Museum, is a crucial institution for understanding the history, art, and culture of the Mallabhum region and the Bankura district. Established in 1951 by local enthusiasts and later tak en over by the West Bengal government's Directorate of Archaeology and Museums, the museum is named after the noted scholar Acharya Jogesh Chandra Roy Vidyanidhi. It is a double-storied yellow building that houses an invaluable and diverse collection of nearly 5,000 old manuscripts, including rare texts like the 'Chaitanya Charitamrita' and various Ayurvedic treatises. Its collection also boasts over 100 sculptures dating primarily from the 10th to 12th century CE, many recovered from the Dwarakeswar River basin, establishing the area's history of continuous human habitation. The museum is renowned for preserving the traditions of indigenous art forms, including a dedicated Terracotta Gallery showcasing the famous Bankura Horse and exquisite terracotta boat replicas. It offers three main galleries focusing on sculpture, music, and terracotta, and also features historical artifacts related to the British period, textiles, and rare photographs of spiritual figures like Sree Sarada Devi. It serves as a vital bridge between the glorious past of the Malla dynasty and the present, giving tourists a comprehensive context to the temples they visit.
