| | | | ART AND MUSEUMS: Shhatrapathi Shivaji Mahar(Prince of Wales Museum) | Tip Rating: | | | | |
After visiting Elephenta caves&Gateway of India,its just 5 min walking distance,
you can see"hhatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya",aha one more name change,
they changed the name recentely from Prince of Wales Museum to this long one.
The building itself old Victorian Gothic style building,supposed to be gr8 front view,
but it has beautiful garden,and tall trees hiding the building from outiside.
So my font view pic ,you can see only trees hahahaha Pic i kept at travalogue.
During World war I,the building was used as hospital between 1904-1914.
I never realise that,the Museum visit will be Enjoyable.:).
As I had been there when i was in school,I really forget how it looks.
They renovated recentely part of front wing,so it looks like morden interior.Good lighting arrangement too.The entrance of the building,you can get Audio guide,in English,Spanish,other few languages.
If you like to have glance,before entering ,buy booklet of Museum, at Museum shop.
Its not free,Rs10.
Ground floor has ,Terricota figures collection(Karnataka state),Indian sculpture,and natural history.
First floor,huge collection of miniature painting,from 15th to 16 century.They have Napal&Tibet section.Can see beautiful lamps from Napal.I took few pic of Museum,just have a look at my travaloge pic,to see what am talking:))
I really liked Museum visit,and photography is allowed,without flash.For using camara, you have to get the admisson ticket Rs 30 extra.
I suggest whoever visit Bombay ,This place is must must see place :)).
Timing :10.15am-6pm
Admission fees Rs10,
Foreigners Rs300.

Really it was good collection ,I really enjoied my visit there.One thing I noticed, its free admisson,when i went inside there was not much crowed,but when i comeout later,people were stading in queue for entering the gallery .But onething Mumbai ppl are very nice,they wait in queue in bus stop,or anyhwere,they follow the rules.heheehehh cant say same thing to Delhi,so u can imagin my surprise of ppl standing in queue:)).

| | | | ART AND MUSEUMS: Archaelogical Survey of India Museum | Tip Rating: | | | | |
Elephenta caves is 1hr launch ride from Gateway of India.
This pic inside of Museum.Before entering to see Caves,have a look at Museum here.
They displayed pic from all caves,including Ajantha,Eellora,and
Elephenta caves pics with details.Its all about caves,Elephenta caves are giant caves
,with most impressive sculpture all inside the caves.
Its all about diffrent sculpture of Lord Shiva.
The pic shows details of Sadashiva,this is main most striking Shiva is Maheshmurthi,with 6m high,and three headed Shiva,dipicting him in his 3 aspects as Creator,Destroyer&Preserver.This inside the hall,count get enough light
so the pic came very dark :(.
Caves sides can see massive sculptured panels ,showing Hindu mythology.
Better get one guide, he will explain,if we see ourselfs we may miss many details:).
After getting down from boat ride,you have walk 1/2 km to caves,train (look like toy train from distance :)))runs,Rs4,it will take u near to Caves.
But again one has take steps to reach top of the caves.So better take water bottle:).
There are few hotels are there,usully it took half day trip from Mumbai,have to pack something to eat.Hotels all looking dirty heheheh,i coun"t eat anything there :(.Bottled drinks ok.
