Prachina Museum |
|
It's
a museum located in the great Junagarh Fort. The museum is
dedicated to royal costumes, textiles and accessories. 'Poshaks'
or the ladies ensemble displayed are perhaps the last
remnants of the traditional designing styles and workmanship.
The museum also reveals a study of changing cultural settings in
its display of family portraits of the former rulers. Changes
embarked by the western influences appear strikingly. The vivid
glimpses of legacy that survived in the contemporary Bikaner are
also visible. |
