Purkhouti Muktangan
Purkhouti Muktangan is a sprawling open-air museum spread across 18 acres of land in Naya Raipur. It was inaugurated by the late President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam in November 2006 to preserve and showcase the vibrant tribal culture of Chhattisgarh. The park features life-sized models of tribal dwell ings, folk art, and sculptures that represent the ethnic diversity of the state. It is a vital educational hub for those interested in anthropology and rural traditions. Visitors can see miniature versions of various tourist landmarks of Chhattisgarh such as Chitrakote Falls and Bhoramdeo Temple. The park is beautifully landscaped with native flora and provides a serene environment away from city noise. It serves as a visual encyclopedia of the state's tribal history and artistic brilliance. The government of Chhattisgarh maintains this site to promote eco-tourism and cultural awareness. Many local films and music videos are shot here due to its picturesque and authentic tribal backdrops. It is a place where history, art, and nature blend seamlessly for a unique experience.
