About
The Tribal Museum in Araku is also set to get a facelift with several add-on facilities. Offering a fleeting glimpse of the rich tribal traditions of the Eastern Ghats, the tribal museum in Araku is one of its kinds. Araku Tribal Museum is built with mud and clay and has a rugged theme to it. The museum comprises various tribal clay figures, engrossed in their day-to-day chores. Other artefacts belonging to the tribal community that are on display in the museum include jewellery, hunting tools and kitchen utensils. To promote tribal art, the museum also encompasses a Tribal Art and Crafts Centre, where workshops and exhibitions are held regularly. In the museum, accommodation facilities, eateries and stores selling indigenous souvenirs like handicrafts items made by the tribes can be found.
