Reviews Of Malda Museum
Malda , West Bengal, India
The Malda Museum serves as the primary repository for the countless historical artifacts salvaged from the two magnificent medieval capitals of Bengal Gour and Pandua. Located conveniently within Malda City (English Bazar), this museum is not just a building; it is a vital starting point for anyone wishing to understand the rich, complex history of the region before visiting the actual ruins. Established in $1984 ext{ AD}$, the museum was created specifically to conserve and display the sculptures, inscriptions, and architectural fragments that were deteriorating or being pilfered from the open-air archaeological sites. The collection spans nearly one thousand years of Bengal's history, starting from the Pala and Sena Hindu dynasties, continuing through the era of the independent Bengal Sultanate, and touching upon the Mughal period. The museum s ground floor focuses heavily on monumental stone sculptures, predominantly Hindu and Buddhist deities, showcasing the pre-Islamic artistic heritage of the region. These figures, carved from local black basalt stone, demonstrate exquisite craftsmanship and stylistic continuity that flourished under the Pala Empire, particularly in the 8th to 12th centuries. The upper floor is dedicated to Sultanate-era artifacts, including Arabic and Persian inscriptions detailing royal decrees and mosque constructions, and finely crafted ceramics and metal objects. By displaying these objects in a controlled environment, the Malda Museum provides the crucial historical context necessary to fully appreciate the vast, silent ruins of Gour and Pandua, making the visit to the city a complete educational experience. Without seeing the pieces here, it is difficult to grasp the former opulence and cultural synthesis that once defined the Malda district. The museum is a small yet intensely focused institution that punches above its weight in terms of regional historical significance, acting as the guardian of the Malda region s glorious past. The entire collection helps bridge the gap between the archaeological sites and the current city life, bringing ancient rulers and artists back to life through their surviving work.
