The costumes, jewelry, and various agricultural tools used by the tribal Tharu caste are also collected here. Similarly, Chairman Mahato said that the museum has silver jewelry, money, wooden sandals, pottery, dhakia, gundri, tools used for plowing and digging. 

Since Chitwan is also the central area of ​​the National Park, tourists who come here for wildlife viewing also come to visit the museum. Chairman of the committee Mahato said that the museum will help to understand the culture and traditions of Tharu, Majhi, Musahar, Bote communities and people who are interested in it come for observation.

'After coming here, what is the lifestyle of the Tharu community, what are the clothes, what are the materials in the house, everything can be observed, due to this, the number of tourists has increased,' he said.

After the establishment of gharbas here, the increase in tourist activities has helped the observation at the tribal Tharu museum. Initially, there was free entry here. For the last six months, a fee of 25 per person for domestic tourists and 100 per person for foreigners has been charged. For the management of the museum  The committee said that the fee will be charged.  Chairman of the committee Mahato said that after starting to charge

fee, it is easy to keep records of tourists who come here for observation.
