Unravelling the folk inheritance of Rajasthan

Among the rugged grandeur of the Thar Desert, an oasis of knowledge and cultural preservation emerges, its very name an irresistible invitation to tour the hidden wonders that lie within. Arna Jharna, the Thar Desert Museum of Rajasthan, was born from the vision of the renowned folklorist and ethnomusicologist Komal Kothari and is a testament to the rhetorical depth and richness of Rajasthan's folk inheritance.

Set in the calm Moklawas rural settlement of Jodhpur, the museum's 10-acre expanse encompasses rocky plains, protected jungle tract areas, sacred spots, and shimmering water bodies, creating a harmonious backdrop for the preservation and celebration of the region's age-old customs.
