For
anyone interested in seeing the culture
of Jaisalmer on display through the
ages, the Lok Sanskritik Sangrahalaya
or the Museum of the Folk Culture
situated on the bank of Gadsisar Lake
in Mehar Bagh Garden is a must. This
museum was established in 1984 by
N.K. Sharma, a local connoisseur.
This well organized museum is divided
into six sections and has a rich collection
of paintings, photographs, costumes,
hairstyles and jewellery, utility
articles of rural life, camel and
horse decorations, fossils, ornamental
arches, as well as articles connected
with folk and cultural lifestyles.
