    India will soon have its own solar powered green museum with some pretty breathtaking exhibits on display. The Shree Swaminarayan Museum complex in Ahmedabad Gujarat will cover a massive 30,000 sq feet of land. An additional 35,000 sq feet will be used for its offices and guest house. The museum will play home to artifacts used by Lord Swaminarayan, the founder of the Swaminarayan sect from 225 years ago. The best part, this museum will be powered by solar energy and by windmills. Also, it will make use of glazed and insulated windows to cool the building naturally. A garden with 300 trees will sprout up nearby.


    And with all the holy exhibits on display, a load of visitors are expected to show up at this green museum in India!
