Mahabalipuram Trip Part - 5

As i was leaving, i found out from a family of four that there is an India Seashell Museum and Aquarium closeby. My Navigation app just uttered that the place was just a 3 minute walk from this monument. As i had some time to spare, i thought of visiting the place. I started walking towards the museum in the scorching heat. The road seemed empty and i could see the museum as soon as i took a diversion to the right.

Few cars were parked outside the museum. I went straight to the ticket counter, got the tickets for the museum and aquarium and was just relaxing in the campus.

Seashell Museum

At first, I went into the Seashell Museum. I was mesmerized by seeing a wonderful collection. Hats off to the hardwork by the officials who collected the seashells and preserve it without losing its beauty. I will upload the pictures in the blog in near future. It was indeed a visual treat!

Seashell Aquarium and Souvenir shop

The Aquarium also has a good collection of fishes. They have written down the names of the fishes for common people like us to understand. There is a gift shop or a souvenir shop where different accessories made of shells and pearls are available.

I would recommend my readers to visit this place when you are in Mahabalipuram. An amazing collection of Seashells! 

It was time for me to leave. With a heavy heart and being reluctant, I finally had to leave the place. There ends my trip to Mahabalipuram. Hope you were not bored.. Photo Galleries will follow the post. 

Please give me your valuable feedback and suggestions through comments.

 Thank you. Have a great day!
