• Gujari Mahal Archaeological Museum - Gujari Mahal Archaeological Museum, Gwalior Fort, Gwalior, India

Constructed in the 15th century by Raja Mansingh Tomar for his Gujar Queen, Mrignayani, Gujari Mahal stands as a monument of love. According to popular tradition, since none of the king’s eight queens could bear an heir, he married a milkman’s daughter named “naani,” whom he called “Mrignayani” (meaning beautiful eyes). Mrignayani requested a separate palace with a constant water supply from the river Ria, leading to the creation of Gujari Mahal in Gwalior, India. The palace now houses an archaeological museum with a vast collection of Hindu and Jain sculptures, archaeological artifacts from the 1st and 2nd century B.C., replicas of Bagh cave frescoes, and Terracotta items. The museum’s curator holds the exquisite miniature statue of Salbhanjika, which can be viewed upon request.
