Folk Culture Museum, Bhimtal ! Lok Sanskriti Sangrahalaya ! Uttarakhand Garhwali and Kumaoni culture

This is a one-man institution, and the man behind it is Padmashree Awardee Dr Yashodhar Mathpal. Folk Culture museum near Bhimtal was established by Yashodhara Mathpal Ji in 1983 at a distance of 6 Km from Bhowali and 5.1 Km from Bhimtal.
One man Institution means, the whole project is designed and formulated by him without any Government help.
The motto behind this institution is to promote the diverse and rich culture of Uttarakhand.
Folk museum is divided into three very unique and specific galleries.
One belongs to the cultural gallery which represents nature and heritage painting.
The second Gallery belongs to the cave art gallery, which is very unique and different. Dr Yashodhar Mathpal spent 30 years in various caves of Madhya Pradesh and made more than thousands of cave paintings. He was awarded by Padmashree because of his hard-work and excellency.
And, the third gallery belongs to the Tibetan, Folk and Tribals arts gallery.
I’ll recommend you to visit this museum on your trip to Bhowali or Bhimtal.
