Rajnandgaon district’s Triveni Museum became a focal point for literature lovers at the Raipur Literature Festival Adi Se Anadi Tak, organised by the Public Relations Department at Purkhouti Muktangan, Nava Raipur, from January 23 to January 25.

Presented in a distinctive book-shaped format, the Triveni Museum pavilion paid tribute to some of India’s most celebrated Hindi literary figures, attracting visitors from across the state and beyond.

Located within the campus of Government Digvijay College in Rajnandgaon, the Triveni Museum holds a unique place in Chhattisgarh’s cultural landscape. The museum has been established at the former residence of renowned Hindi poet and thinker Gajanan Madhav Muktibodh and is dedicated to preserving the shared literary heritage of three eminent writers — Muktibodh, Padumlal Punnalal Bakshi and Dr Baldev Prasad Mishra.

The museum is divided into three sections, each showcasing manuscripts, personal belongings, creative works and rare memorabilia associated with these literary stalwarts. The initiative aims at the collective preservation of their writings, memories and historical documents. The memorial complex also houses a reading room, reception area and waiting lounge for visitors.

Muktibodh served as a professor at Government Digvijay College from 1958 to 1964, while Padumlal Punnalal Bakshi taught at the same institution from 1959 to 1971. In 2005, the Chhattisgarh government officially declared Muktibodh’s residence a protected memorial site, paving the way for the establishment of the Triveni Museum.

The museum continues to host regular gatherings of literature enthusiasts who come to reflect on and celebrate what is often referred to as the “Triveni” of Hindi literature — a symbolic confluence of three towering creative minds.

Festival visitors described the Triveni Museum display as both intellectually enriching and emotionally evocative, reaffirming Rajnandgaon’s important contribution to India’s literary heritage.
