Although it does what every museum does, keeps alive a memory, but at Darshan, it's done through 3D Holographics, Life-Like Statues, Realistic Sets, Hi-Def Audio, HD Video, Theatrical Lighting and much more!Darshan is the next step in story-telling. The visitor literally 'walks' into a scene and the scene 'plays out' before your eyes! Each scene is brought to life through realistic sets, and within the set are various props that help to recreate the scene before you. For the first time in the country has 3D Holographics been used in a show! Characters appear in thin air and act out scenes before your very eyes! A truly magical experience!Darshan tells the beautiful story of a Saint of Modern India, Sadhu T L Vaswani. He was a visionary, an educationist, a spiritual giant, a poet and much, much more! His life bore witness to the universal ideals of Unity, Brotherhood of all life, Compassion, Love for all, Peace. He inspired many to work for the cause of the independence of India alongside with Gandhi, he worked for women upliftment years before modern society did it, by starting a Women's Education Movement called the Mira Movement in Education. The Mira Movement in Education has now spread to many cities and thousands of young girls benefit from it. He was an animal rights activist, his birthday, 25th November, is celebrated as Animal Rights Day and crores of people pledge to abstain from food of violence on this day every year! He was a spiritual giant. He spread the Eternal Message of the Saints and Rishis amongst the common man and made the Divine accessible to everyone. Ever a believer in the Unity of All Life, He promoted no one religion but taught that all religions lead to but One Goal. The Paths are Many but the Goal is One! His spiritual poetry has been compiled into the largest compilation of Spiritual Poetry by a single author in the world! It is called the Nuri Granth and is revered by his followers as a storehouse of spiritual wisdom and knowledge.We invite you to come and experience His simplicity, His wisdom, His purity, His unique life at Darshan! « less

Darshan is called a 'Museum' for the lack of an appropriate term. It will surprise you, as to how new age technologies of lights, sound and various elements are subtly combined for making this Wonder. Darshan is a sigh of relief from cliched mediums and is used for taking you through a journey which will take you aback and touch... More

I went here thinking it was a museum, without researching it because it was recommended by tripadvisor. Instead, I found it is a walk through show depicting the life of religious leader Sadhu Vaswani. Technicaly it is well done with a mixture of wax works, projections and screens but the subject was of no interest to me and, I suspect,... More

One of the best must see place in Pune. It balances spirituality and entertainment at best. Use of ultra modern technology to explain lesson's of life by telling stories and life experiences of India's greatest saint's.

It was wonderful visiting the Darshan. It truly felt like a pilgrimage. Very enriching experience. I really liked the way the way Darshan staff took care of all the audience by narrating the instructions and showing each part patiently. Thank you for the lovely experience.

This museum is dedicated to the noted Sindhi Saint and scholar, Sadhu T. L. Vaswani. It is a biographical museum that offers an insight into the life and therefore the teachings of Sadhu Vaswani.
