| 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.
