For a not-too choosy tourist, as most of us are, this place proudly offers a tantalizing medley-meal---a sort of buffet--- where one can just have one’s pick while having a brief walk in the forts and corridors of history, get a little awed at the amazing craftsmanship and the numerous objects of art displayed in the mela, museums and art galleries, watch a whole array of films and have a small picnic in the Mughal Gardens.

Themed Environments
The first ever Heritage Theme Park on India, Surabhi World, is scheduled to open in 2015 at Kharghar’. The objective was to design a smaller space within the Living Heritage Centre to be opened to the public immediately to give audiences a taste of what’s to come in 2015!
