Amulya Shoda Museum

Amulya Shodha is an unique museum which has been established privately in India. It is
located in near shivamogga, lakkenakoppa village of malenadu region of south India interior
Karnataka. The museum beckons every person passionate about the past cultures and heritage of
the region.

The establishment of this museum marks a sustained effort to chronicle past heritage and
preserve it for the future generations. Currently, we are witness to a rapid landscape
transformation of our socio-economic and cultural spheres.

Cool breeze from adjoining forest, a subdued village hum interspersed with the occasional chirp
of a migratory bird marks a visit to the museum, a truly enchanting experience.

A visit to the museum sheds light on the various 'Signposts of heritage'. The museum also
reminds every one who visit it to become a "sentinel" of our heritage.

The museum boasts of a wide variety of objects of antiquity, some of which transport us into a
long forgotten way of life our ancestors. Tens and hundreds of swords, household utensils,
statues and statutes of bronze, nickel and various other alloys, paintings, idols of Gods stand
witness to a wide spectacle of our past heritage.

Cultural mannequins, cattle bells, heritage locks, clocks and cloaks sing an unbridled melancholy
of past lives which lull our heart into a heavy soliloquy.

The Nanya darshini which is a coin museum, attempts to educate a visitor with rare
coins from different parts of the world. Coins are an important source of history which tells us
many tales of heroic battles, sacrifices, royal splendour, betrayal and as well the socio economic
condition of different strata of the people over different eras of history. The coins along with
their descriptions in the museum telescope us into a magical world.
 The Malenadu darshini is another part of the museum which serves as a mirror cultural
variety of the malenadu region of the Karnataka. Malenadu has its own charm of forests, agrarian
systems, traditions marked with a wide palette of dynamic and equally resplendent livelihoods. A
representative Malenadu Mane (Malnad tile house) as well as a theme of Shivappa Nayaka's
palace add charm to the veracity of collections on display.

The walls of the homes were made of hand-formed baked bricks while the foundations were laid
with sun-dried bricks. Instruments were used to ensure the exact vertical alignment of the houses.

Amidst the winds of the change, our cultural paraphernalia tend to get lost in the sands of
time.It is pertinent that these paraphernalia are preserved for future generations as to understand
the past and as well, the present, which would become the recent past. Amulya Shoda is one such
effort.

The Bharata Darshini encompasses common objects of the yore the descriptions of
