INDIAN TECHNOLOGICAL HERITAGE GALLERY

Since the dawn of history, different cultures from across the world have contributed to various branches of Science and Technology, often through interactive contacts across the cultures. Unfortunately, history of Science and Technology is mostly seen in the context of western perspective, often overlooking the contributions of other cultures including India.

An attempt is made through this exhibition to showcase ancient Indian independent contributions in Technology specially focusing on some important fields of town planning & civil engineering, Mathematics, Metallurgy, Textile, Medicine etc.
