| December 25, 2009 | Jamnagar Fort museum attracting tourists | | Jamnagar: A museum built in the middle of the Ranmal Lake in Lakhota Fort is attracting visitors to Jamnagar - the museum displays a collection of old English and Portuguese firearms, weapons, sculptures and artefacts of early 9th century. "A lot of
big cannons belonging to the British era are displayed here. Some of these date back
600 years. All these cannons reached this place from Portugal by sea," said R R
Goswami, curator of the Lakhota Museum. The museum's walls have a number of
frescoes that depict the exploits of the area's
rulers. "There are some beautiful sculptures here that belong to the 18th century.
Weapons are also displayed here," said Daksha Solanki, a visitor. Some visitors
feel that the youth should visit this museum as it displays distinctive facets
of India's rich heritage. "I believe that the coming generation that is studying
in schools and college should visit this museum and see our rich heritage," said
Devang Solanki, a visitor. A stone bridge links the palace to the town of Jamnagar. | |
