Siddhagiri Gramjivan Museum (Kaneri Math) Kolhapur

This museum showcases different aspects of Gramjivan (village life).

Gram means village and jeevan means life in the Marathi language.

This initiative was the dream of Mahatma Gandhi, and was created through the vision and efforts of Siddhagiri Gurukul Foundation co.

The history of self-sufficient village life in Maharshtra, before the invasion of the Mughals, is depicted in the form of cement sculptures.

Each sculpture is lifelike and represents activities performed in daily village life.

There were 12 Balutedars (essentially artisan castes), and 18 Alutedars who provided equipment to carry out domestic and professional tasks.
