The stopped clocks kept in an art gallery in Dehradun hold within them the history of hundreds of years. These clocks may not tell time now but they definitely hold within them the time of the past.
These cameras kept on the table must have held the memories of who knows how many people. But these cameras are now left with the help of memories. These antique items kept in the art gallery of Dehradun are telling the stagnant story of the past.
You will find many antique pieces in Amar Singh Dhunta’s collection. Be it a lamp signal brought from a railway station of the then East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) during 1971 or an almost 80-year-old radio.
A collection of cameras from the past is kept in one part of the exhibition. Once you see the early shutter cameras kept in this collection, you will be surprised to see how the technology changed and how the beginning was left behind.
Chausar is also kept in this collection of antiques. This is the same Chausar game which is mentioned in Mahabharata. Now we can watch entire movies on mobile, but there was a time when even to listen to songs, we had to use a big instrument like gramophone. These gramophones kept in this collection of antiques now play the music of silence.
In a part of this collection of Amar Dhunta, you can also see the sets of Indrajal stories and Nagraj comics. In this era of Instagram reels and Snapchat, it will no longer be possible for the current generation to see such books.
Although no one wants to go with the past, but the truth is that seeing the signs of the past always gives you an exciting experience.
