A rich heritage waiting for proper maintenance.
This is a nice place to visit. Trip will cover fort and museum together.
The fort has priceless collection of belongings of Princely State era and is worth seeing.
Unfortunately, maintenance is very poor. Majority of items are covered in dust, detailed description of articles is grossly missing. We could not find the official guide too. Display of articles could me made attractive and well lit. Most rooms are dark. Humid smell of abandoned building is prominently experienced.
Concerned authorities are requested to look into this matter, please.
