Speciality Museums
FREE ENTRY TO ALL VISITORS --- Darshan is not really a 'museum' in the conventional sense of the term. Although it does what every museum does, keeps alive a memory, but at Darshan, it's done through 3D Holographics, Life-Like Statues, Realistic Sets, Hi-Def Audio, HD Video, Theatrical Lighting and much more!Darshan is the next step in story-telling. The visitor literally 'walks' into a scene and the scene 'plays out' before your eyes! Each scene is brought to life through realistic sets, and within the set are various props that help to recreate the scene before you. For the first time in the country has 3D Holographics been used in a show! Characters appear in thin air and act out scenes before your very eyes! A truly magical experience!Darshan tells the beautiful story of a Saint of Modern India, Sadhu T L Vaswani. He was a visionary, an educationist, a spiritual giant, a poet and much, much more! His life bore witness to the universal ideals of Unity, Brotherhood of all life, Compassion, Love for all, Peace. He inspired many to work for the cause of the independence of India alongside with Gandhi, he worked for women upliftment years before modern society did it, by starting a Women's Education Movement called the Mira Movement in Education. The Mira Movement in Education has now spread to many cities and thousands of young girls benefit from it. He was an animal rights activist, his birthday, 25th November, is celebrated as Animal Rights Day and crores of people pledge to abstain from food of violence on this day every year! He was a spiritual giant. He spread the Eternal Message of the Saints and Rishis amongst the common man and made the Divine accessible to everyone. Ever a believer in the Unity of All Life, He promoted no one religion but taught that all religions lead to but One Goal. The Paths are Many but the Goal is One! His spiritual poetry has been compiled into the largest compilation of Spiritual Poetry by a single author in the world!

    Hare Krishna
    Very nice spiritual divine experience. It's a Hare Krishna temple, official ISKCON temple. Very nicely managed. Very traditional Tirupati temple right in back of main temple. Beautiful place. Must visit. Food stalls to eat are too good and affordable. FREE Khichadi prasad is delicious.

    A morning well spent
    An interesting, eclectic collection of artefacts housed in 2 wings of a building. I was short of time so could cover only one wing.
    Lovely local flavors that museums often overlook. Well worth a visit.
    Unfortunately space is short so artefacts are crowded into tight spaces, not well displayed, labelled & lighting is terrible.
    The collection deserves a well designed display and needs to be documented.

    Beautiful Jain temple in Pune
    A very beautiful Jain temple with statue of Lord Mahavir in the main temple. I went in the morning hours and there were very few devotees. It felt very peaceful. Lord Parvasnath, Santhinath and other thirtankars statues were there in the adjoining temples. All the statues were made of five metals and the golden exterior makes them beautiful to look at. I was suprised to find Padmavathi Devi minitemple also. There was Jain agama written on metal sheets that were affixed to the inside walls of temple complex. I think this is why it is called Agama mandir. I observed Jains covering their mouths and approaching the inner sanctum of the temple. I think it could be the custom. One can walk to Jal Mandir from this main temple. This marble Jale Mandir also had Lord Mahavir as the main diety. The views of the Pune city from here are spectacular. There is place of Jain pilgrims to stay and eat in the temple complex. Overall, a good temple to visit on a weekend. I suggest staying for an hour after having made the effort to reach there.

    Devotional place
    Overall nice and serene temple, you feel energy when there. A little more cleanliness and fixing walking barriers will add more comfort.
    If there can be a palki service started for elderly they will be able to offer their prayers
