Allahabad Museum's first-of-its-kind new gallery to unveil soon, dedicated to Hindi literary figures

Among the remarkable initiatives planned, one stands out as truly unique: The Allahabad Museum in Prayagraj will unveil a renovated gallery dedicated to India's renowned Hindi literary figures--marking the first gallery of its kind in the world.

For the first time, pilgrims and tourists will be able to listen to and see the works of celebrated writers and poets, including Sumitranandan Pant, Maithili Sharan Gupta, Mahadevi Verma, Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, and Agyeya, in their original voices.

This gallery, showcasing the legacies of these iconic Hindi poets and writers, is expected to become a major attraction for visitors from across the globe. Extensive preparations are underway to bring this experience to life.

Discussions are currently underway between the Allahabad Museum and the Film Division, Doordarshan, and Akashvani regarding a list of prominent poets and writers.

Allahabad Museum, under the guidance of Deputy Curator Dr Rajesh Mishra, is making swift progress to honour the government's vision of making the world's largest cultural gathering truly unforgettable.

Even before the Mahakumbh, construction is well underway on this tribute to India's literary greats, allowing people not only to view exhibits dedicated to Pant, Gupta, Mahadevi Verma, Dinkar, and Agyeya but also to hear their poetry in their voices. These original recordings, coupled with rare videos of the poets reciting their works, promise an immersive experience for all visitors.

Dr. Rajesh Mishra said, "Witnessing these luminaries recite their poetry will be an extraordinary experience in itself. To ensure devotees can fully appreciate the poetry of these literary giants during Mahakumbh, Allahabad Museum is collaborating with the Films Division, Doordarshan, and Akashvani. A comprehensive selection of works from these esteemed poets has been compiled to create an unparalleled experience for visitors." (ANI)
