Sanskar Kendra, Local museum in Paldi, Ahmedabad, India

Sanskar Kendra is a museum at the west end of Sardar Bridge near Paldi in Ahmedabad. Le Corbusier's design sets a plain red-brick volume with exposed raw concrete bands on pilotis 3.4 metres high, entered from below through an open court with a large pool and a ramp to the exhibition spaces. The structural grid measures 7 metres, and several large basins sit on the roof.

Le Corbusier designed Sanskar Kendra as the sole built pavilion of a planned Cultural Centre of Ahmedabad, which was to include anthropology, natural history, archaeology and open-air folklore sections plus a theatre called the "miracle box". The foundation stone was laid on 9 April 1954, when the project was still named Museum of Knowledge. The museum closed in March 2020 with the COVID-19 pandemic and has stayed shut for renovation since.

The museum's sections cover the city's history, art, photography, Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian independence struggle, and Ahmedabad's religious communities. A separate Patang Kite Museum holds kites, photographs and other artifacts. The foundation block of Ellis Bridge was moved here; its inscription records the bridge's 1869–1870 construction, its destruction by the flood of 22 September 1875, and its rebuilding.

The museum stands at the west end of Sardar Bridge, near Paldi. It has been closed since March 2020, first for the COVID-19 pandemic and then for renovation, so check locally before travelling. Entry is from underneath the building, through an open court with a pool and a ramp up to the exhibition spaces.

The museum houses an incense stick longer than four meters, holding an unusual world record. This unexpected item often catches visitors' attention since they rarely encounter such a large-scale craft object.
