The Ganga Govardhan Museum in Kumbhalgarh is quite big…with an entry ticket priced at Rs.130/- per person……however, one surprising and disappointing thing was the extra charge for photography inside the museum……in today’s mobile era, such rules are rarely seen…but here, they charge Rs.250/- per device for photography….this price is almost double the price of an individual's entry ticket…...if you're visiting in a group…then every group member carrying a mobile phone has to buy a separate photography ticket….even if one person carries two mobile phones…he/she must pay for two tickets….

Inside the museum, there wasn’t anything exceptionally unique to justify these charges….most of the exhibits, such as cannons, bows, arrows, swords, spears, shields, costumes and other war-related items, can also be seen at the City Palace in Udaipur….additionally, the coin collection at the Lucknow Museum is more impressive….and the Haldighati Museum is much better organized and engaging….moreover, at these other museums, mobile photography is totally free…overall, the experience felt like a waste of both time and money….instead of spending here, it’s better to visit some other site in Kumbhalgarh that offers more value and a better...

Confused is the word I would use. The museum is near the Kumbhalgarh fort and boasts of the "largest coin collection in Asia".

The entry fees is Ra 130 for adults and Rs 50 for children, which is pretty steep for what you get. The shocker is - once you have made the steep climb and a flight of stairs, you are greeted with a sign that asks you to cough up Rs 250 per phone else you are asked to submit your devices. In this time of privacy issues, this is ridiculousness of the highest order. Either you put up the sign right at the ticket counter so that people can decide if they need to leave their phones in their cars or make other arrangements or remove this ghastly condition altogether. The museum curator should probably understand photos on social media can improve their footfall, but it's their wish to choose what to allow and what not to. You can give this place a miss, there is nothing significant to be seen here unless you...
