Dear LGs would you like to share your feedback here…
@Shrut19 This place is an open museum located in Ganpatipule about 1-2kms from the Ganpati mandir, it is located beside the amusement park Magic Garden. Entry Fees ₹40 (where a guide is and provided, she will explain about each and everything there) and seperate charges of ₹20 for photography.
This museum tells story of Kokan Region from the time it was came into existence and how the people usedo live there in the beginning (hunting, craftsman, local people, the culture, food etc)
Different manquine are kept to show the villagers and animals.
there is also some information about the medicial and astrological use of plants and tress.
This place is quite big and takes time to reach the top most point as it is located in a mountain like area, there is too much walking. (Not recommended for elderly people, as it is very tiring)
@FalguniP@Shrut19 Thanks for tagging and giving me opportunity to share my thoughts here. Prachin kokan is theme park in Ganapati pule village where they have created ancient kokani village. It shows kokan’s rich culture and heritage and it’s way of life. Good place to visit for those who are from urban parts and interested in ancient village culture.
You both are given good information about this place & both are so lucky to have visited this beautiful place, unfortunately I miss to visit there in my December 2019s visit of Ganpati Pule…
@NGUDAPE Yes you are right it shows the whole village culture and ancient life of Konkan.
@Shrut19 next time when you go surely visit there. I visited in the month of October the climate was very hot and humid, try to visit during winters for best experience
