Archaeological Museum

This interesting museum has a good collection of deities and sculptures from the area. There is a Vaishnava Gallery that includes a beautiful Bhu Varaha sculpture. The museum gives visitors an opportunity to see the temple sculptures at eye level. The original temple artists made adjustments to the figures to compensate for the angle and distance from which the viewer would see the sculptures on the temples themselves. Therefore the sculptures may look slightly out of proportion as they are seen in the museum.
