Charkha Museum, Spinning wheel museum in Connaught Place, Delhi, India
The National Charkha Museum features a monumental stainless steel spinning wheel measuring 26 feet in length and 13 feet in height at its center.
Inaugurated in 2017, this museum stands as a testament to India's independence movement, where the spinning wheel became a symbol of economic self-reliance.
The museum displays fourteen historical spinning wheel models that demonstrate the complete transformation process from raw cotton to finished khadi products.
Located near Rajiv Chowk metro station, the museum remains open daily from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM with an entrance fee of 20 Indian rupees.
The five-ton chromium spinning wheel at the museum entrance holds the record for the largest mechanical spinning device in the world.
