The culture, art, and heritage of Madhya Pradesh are not only a part of our identity but also hold significant global importance. To spread awareness about their value, various initiatives have been undertaken over time, targeting youth and the general public. As part of this effort, the State Museum in the capital is organizing a special multi-dimensional program series. Through this event, we aim to share key insights and unique aspects of our heritage with the public.
