Mysore Sand Sculpture Museum

Sand sculptures are usually made for temporary purposes on beaches. Where else can we find the sand sculptures displayed permanently? I am not sure. At least in India, the one we have in Mysuru is the first of its kind.

Located at the foothills of Chamundi Hills on the city outskirt, this sand sculpture museum is the result of the creativity and hard work of MN Gowri, a leading sculptor of India. 

More than one hundred truckloads of sand were used to make 150 sculptures. Depicting various themes, all these giant size sculptures captivate the visitors with their unmatched beauty. With proper provisions to protect them from Sun, rain and insects, it is said that they last long for one year.

Mysuru never ceases to surprise us with its variety of exciting sites. This unique museum is a brilliant addition to the list.

Happy travelling.
