Siddhagiri Museum is located near Kolhapur city in Maharastra State , India . It has a history of more than 1000 years, and is a holy place of worship of Lord Mahadeva. The surrounding around the museum is very calm and quiet, a hilly place with a good collection of Flora and Fauna.The main objective of the project is to refresh the history of self sufficient village life. There were 12 main profession based casts i.e. professions performed by generation by family members and 18 ALUTEDARS, who provided equipments to all villagers useful in their day-to-day necessities of domestic as well as agricultural life. The first phase of the museum spans over 7 Acres of area with almost 80 main scenes and around 300 wax statues. There is a unique combination of expression, accuracy and liveliness in the whole village. Each sculpture has a multi dimensional effect and lifestyle theme to make a proper visual story.The Museum projects the entire village as a single family, and as single family members in a joint family. No adulteration, no cut throat practice, no mad rat race, no pollution, but caring, and delightful atmosphere, no bitter feeling, but fertile land, clean water, clean air, quality food, maximum use of natural resources, cattle field, livestock, job satisfaction. All these things are reflecting the beauty, joy, satisfaction of human race and one-ness with nature.
