Una, July 20

The Chintpurni Temple Trust has decided to set up a museum-cum-interpretation centre for visitors to have a virtual three-dimensional (3-D) experience about various temples in the district as well as historical facts or legends associated with them.

Deputy Commissioner Raghav Sharma, who is also the Chairman of the Chintpurni Temple Trust, today said that the museum would be set up in the Mai Das Sadan, which is part of the multi-purpose tourist-cum-facilitation centre, near the shrine. He added that four contiguous halls would serve as the main part of the centre.

He said, “Visitors will walk through rooms having three-dimensional video animations with audio effects around them. Each room will provide a virtual tour of some of the major shrines in the district with a brief about their history. They will get a feeling of being physically present at these shrines.”

Sharma said, “An exercise to create interiors for the right type of audio-visual effects has already begun. A detailed project report for the museum will be prepared by August 20 to be presented at the meeting of the Trustees.” He added that after the approval of the State Art, Culture and Language Department, the work on the project was expected to begin in September.

He expressed hope that once functional, the museum would attract tourists and also help in increasing footfall in other shrines of the state. He said continued efforts were being made to increase facilities for devotees at the Chintpurni shrine.
