    This museum is best for the students and people who want to witness the history of the charkhas and various different models of the Charkhas (Spinning Wheels). The place is educational and best to visit with children.

    Its a very small museum which is located in the center of city. It represents one of india's rich culture but the maintanence is pretty poor. They also dont have change and wont give change when you try to buy the ticket. Indian is known for being digital for payments even in rural areas, but in this place they dont even have UPI payment.

    Entry fee-Rs 20 Located in Connaught place easily spotted and quite popular place. There's no wait and usually there's a ticket system here But this museum is small and mostly open 👐 There's a washroom facility and outside there's quick snacks stores so you can purchase treatbits and a nice place to relax and enjoy on a Sunday afternoon. The entry fee here is Rs 20 .

    Charkha is a spinning wheel and the Charkha Museum in Delhi has on display an interesting collection of 14 charkhas dating between 1912 and 1977. These Charkhas were donated by people are displayed in a long hall, neatly labeled indicating the donor's name and the date of manufacture. The museum is also dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi who was a strong advocate of Charkha and used it as a symbol of self-rule and self-reliance during his struggle against the British Raj in India. The Charkha was used by Gandhi Ji as an important tool for the national rejuvenation of India during the freedom struggle. There are also two steel sculptures outside the main hall that are very interesting. One is a lion made up of charkha wheels, though gear wheels are used. This Make in India structure looks magnificent The other is a huge sculpture of a Charkha The huge Charkha has become a landmark within just a few days of its inauguration The museum is housed in the garden area in the middle of Connaught Place and is not very large. I could see all the exhibits in under 30 minutes. The entrance fee for the museum is INR 20 which is basically pocket change, so plus one star for that. Along with the ticket they also gave me a cotton handloom handkerchief and alternatively I could choose a tricolor cotton band which could be wrapped on the wrist. It looked quite cool but I opted for the Khadi or handspun handkerchief. I loved this gesture very much that will serve as a souvenir. Near the entrance of the museum is an information center and also a souvenir shop. It was a nice experience and this museum stands out from the other 51 museums in Delhi. Since the museum is located at a natural elevation right in the middle of Connaught Place giving a bird's eye view of the entire area How Reach Take the Delhi Metro Yellow, Red, or the Blue line, all of which pass through Cannought Place. I visited the place on my bike and parked in the Palika underground p[arking for INR 10 per hour. Accessibility Features The Information Center and the Souvenir shop are accessible for a wheelchair via a leveled floor from the main road. There is also a tactile path from the Metro Station exit all the way to the entrance of the museum The main museum building however has stairs with no ramp or railing making it a bad example of accessibility at such a prominent place.

    The only place which is AC and not for food. Not much to see around. The price is nominal only Rs 20. There are fountains nearby and you can get really good pics there. The museum is promoting khadi and Gandhi beliefs.

    The Charkha Museum in New Delhi is a special place that tells a wonderful story. It's a small, but charming museum where you can learn about India's history, especially about Mahatma Gandhi and his ideas of peace and independence. Inside, you'll find many interesting things. There are old charkhas (spinning wheels) on display, which were important tools during India's struggle for freedom. They show how people worked together to make their own clothes and become self-reliant. The museum has pictures and writings that explain Gandhi's life and his principles of truth and nonviolence. It feels like a journey back in time, helping you understand the struggles and sacrifices made for India's independence. The museum is clean and well-maintained, making it a comfortable place to visit. The staff are friendly and ready to answer any questions you might have. In short, the Charkha Museum is a place full of history and inspiration. It's a great spot to learn about India's past and the values that shaped the nation. If you're interested in history or want to know more about Gandhi, this museum is a must-visit in New Delhi.

    My visit to Charkha Park or Museum in Connaught Place with my family on 20th August, 2022 was a thrilling and joyous experience. The place is centrally located and well connected with metro as well as by road. The site has spacious lush green lawns well maintained by N.D.M.C. The greenery around is a treat for eyes and has a soothing effect on one's mind. The big statue of Gandhiji and Charkha on entering the venue reminds us of our rich heritage and legacy in 75th year of Indian Independence being celebrated as Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. The place often hosts different kinds of events. Food festival has been organised from 19th August, 2022 to 21st August, 2022. Though the cost of entrance ticket is Rs 20 on the other days it is free during the food festival. This festival has brought together under one roof different players in the industry showcasing and selling their delicacies to the visitors thronging the place from different parts of city. Many stalls have been put up selling different food items ranging from North Indian Amritsary Naan, Missi Roti and Saag to stall put up by renowned South Indian group Sarvan selling South Indian Sambar Vadas, Rasam and many other items. There have been stalls put up by big reputed brands like Haldi Ram and Khandani Pakoda Wala selling chaat and different kinds of delicious pakodas. The special attraction of the festival is the food items prepared in the utensils of mud or clay. The tea and coffee offered in kulhads made of mud and food items prepared and served in these kinds of utensils of mud have been the biggest draw. The music and dance performed in the background by the artists adds charm to the experience. The place has a record of holding such splendid events.

    Charkha Museum in Connaught Place, Delhi, disappoints with its small size and lack of unique exhibits. Visitors will find nothing new or remarkable to see, making it a rather underwhelming experience. What further adds to the disappointment is the ₹20 entry fee, which feels unjustified given the limited content on display. The only notable aspect is the view of the bustling traffic in Connaught Place, which can be observed from the museum's location. However, this alone does not justify a visit.

    Charkha museum is a place where you can get to know about various charkhas that were used in the early 18th and 19th centuries. It is a small place yet phenomenal. The ticket prices are just Rs 20 per person. Before entering the museum you must take out your shoes and put them in the shoe rack outside. Outside there you can find 4 small monuments. A good place to visit preferably in evening

A good place to create an inspiration to students and children to know about Mahatma Gandhi. The space is well utilised and beautifully lighted.

    The Charkha Museum offers a captivating journey into India's history and its pivotal role in the struggle for independence. The exhibits vividly showcase the significance of the charkha, the traditional spinning wheel, as a symbol of self-reliance and nonviolent resistance. The museum's layout is thoughtfully designed, guiding visitors through a chronological narrative that traces the evolution of the charkha's importance. The museum's collection of artifacts, including rare and well-preserved charkhas, textiles, and photographs, provides a tangible connection to the past. The engaging displays are accompanied by informative descriptions, offering a comprehensive understanding of the socio-political context and the impact of Mahatma Gandhi's teachings. The only reason I deduct a star is the need for more interactive elements. While the exhibits are enlightening, incorporating interactive displays or audiovisual presentations could enhance the overall experience, especially for younger visitors. Additionally, clearer signages and guides would aid in navigation and comprehension. In conclusion, the Charkha Museum is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone interested in India's fight for freedom. Its rich collection and well-presented narrative make for an insightful trip. With a bit more interactivity and improved wayfinding.

It is not a very large museum and you can see all the exhibits in under 30 minutes. . he museum is housed in the garden area in the middle of Connaught Place. The building itself is a one roomed Neoclassical building that completely white. I understand that the Charkha was important tool that Gandhi thought would be a point of national rejuvenation for India. The exhibits are beautifully exhibited, but there’s not much information and to be honest, I actually didn’t learn very much.

    As per museum it is a good place to visit. Ofcourse ot is not the fun place where you get to enjoy. It is museum where different type of charkha used before for handmade cloths. It is collection of different type of charkhas other than that you will gain some good knowledge about them from where came who donated it etc. Good for students to visit. They will gain knowledge. Other than that there is a big charkha in between and a big statue of mahatma gandhi at the entrance.

    This charkha museum (spining wheel museum) is one of it's kind, here you can see charkha's made of before the independence of India. Various people donated the old charkha to museum. Somewhere i found that museum is lacking in maintainance but it's really good to visit here. A very large charkha is presented by steel authority of India is the center of attraction in museum. Ticket you have to purchase before visit. It's located near the rajiv chauk metro station and khadi india building.

    The museum features 26 feet (8 meters) long and 13 feet (4 meters) high chromium stainless steel spinning wheel (Charkha). It is weighing five tons and there is no effect of heat on it. Also it is rust resistant and non-magnetic. This Charkha is the world's largest spinning wheel. It was inaugurated on May 21, 2017 by the then BJP National President Amit Shah. This museum depicts the history and evolution of Charkha, from a humble instrument to a symbol of Nationalism. This tool or machine empowered Indian citizens, as they started weaving indigenous (made in India) cloths using the Charkha.[3] The museum has a nominal entry fee of Rs 20.

    The National Charkha Museum is a museum exhibiting the history and evolution of humble spinning wheel, the Charkha. The museum is housed in the garden area in the middle of Connaught Place. The building itself is a one roomed Neoclassical building that completely white. I understand that the Charkha was important tool that Gandhi thought would be a point of national rejuvenation for India. The exhibits are beautifully exhibited, but there’s not much information and to be honest, I actually didn’t learn very much. The two steel sculptures on the grounds of the were more interesting. One is a lion made up of charkha wheels, the order a giant sculpture of a charkha wheel. The entrance fee for the museum is basically pocket change, so plus one star for that.

    A wonderful initiative to aware the youth about our history. The Connaught circus is one of the lively place of the Delhi, a small museum dedicated to father of nation and its spinning wheel in the midst of this most prominent place of the capital is wonderful idea. People can take a glimpse of Charkha and it's history in this small place and enrich themselves. Further free drinking water and toilets are also available for the visitors. Free gift of khadi handkerchief or tricolor ribbon with every ticket is also a good idea and shows that commitment and purpose of the museum is to promote and make aware about khadi not to earn money. Kudos.

    Ticket price 20 Rs..and along with it they also provide either a cotton handloom handkerchief or a tricolour cotton necklace type thread which u can even wrap on ur wrist. It looks quite cool. I love this gesture very much..it is like a small token of memory that u carry along with urself.

    A short visit of less than 30 mins is enough for this place. One of it's kind and should be visited. It costs you a ticket of 20 rupees but you can choose from a tiranga thread mala or hanky as free gift for you. A good initiative from Indian Govt. Has some nice to see statues made of stainless steel and stone also.

    There are only different charkhas are available which were used by gandhi ji. They are from different states of india basically UP,punjab,haryana. There is nothing interesting there. You have half hour to visit and thats enough. Half part of visiting areas were closed which have netaji subhash chandra bose status and that is in open area so you can easily get a view from outside also. There is a big charkha statue at the entry gate.

    A good place to visit with kids (younger ones), here you knows about the different types of charkha which is donated by different peoples from all over India.. Ticker 20 RS per person... They took money but didn't give you the ticket ( i didn't like this) You can spend 30mins as mentioned on the board but one hour is sufficient... Very neat, clean, area... On entrance a big statue of Gandhi ji, and A big steel charkha and lion (make in India musket) and 3 monkeys which depicts Na bura suno, na bolo aur na dekho... There is small museums where you must remove your shoes for entry... Really a good place and must visit atleast onces...
