The princely state of Rajpipla
with its more than 800 years old royal tradition of
the Gohil Dynasty is a place as rich with well preserved
Royal customs as it is blessed with natural beauty.
With a unique blend of Rajput culture and the folklore
of the hill tribes popularly know as Bhils, the state
has a rich history of shared patriotism and loyalty
to the land. Three titles of the Royal Museum Trinity
of Rajpipla clearly indicate three very important aspects
of this culturally rich state.

vanishing lifestyle of the tribal people,
this museum reveals some interesting features
of tribal life.

Rukmini Devi, Former Maharani Rajpipla and
Rajkumari Jaisalmer took the initiative
and converted a part of the their royal
palace to create these museums for the benefit
of scholars, researches and for interested
visitors from all walks of life. This is
another gesture of fulfilling their obligation
towards the society. Inaugurated on the
World Museum Day in 1994, the Royal
Museum Trinity of Rajpipla, functioning
under the auspices of Shri Laximathji
Trust has attracted a constant flow
of interested people from various places.
The total number by now has already exceeded
20,000 visitors.
