Purkhouti Muktangan is a museum complex in Atal Nagar-Nava Raipur featuring outdoor exhibitions, sculptures, and art installations that represent regional traditions. The grounds display life-sized models of traditional tribal houses, everyday tools, and objects collected from communities across Chhattisgarh state.
The museum was opened in 2006 as a project to preserve the cultural heritage of Chhattisgarh state and document regional traditions for future generations. The collection grew from an effort to record and display the different ways of life and craft traditions found throughout the region.
The complex displays handcrafted traditions and everyday objects from different regions of Chhattisgarh, showing how people work and live across the state. You can watch local artisans demonstrate their techniques and explain their traditional practices while visitors move through the space.
The site is accessible by public transportation and located in a modern urban area that is easy to reach. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as exploring the grounds is done on foot, and sun protection is advisable given the outdoor setting.
The complex was designed so that craftspeople can demonstrate their work on site, allowing visitors to see authentic techniques in action rather than just viewing finished pieces. This living element sets it apart from static museum displays and offers insight into practical skills still used today.
