Walking sticks


Salar Jung museum of Hyderabad is considered as the largest collection by a single person in the world. 

Salar Jung-III must have been an interesting man.

For, a collection as diverse and as interesting as this, requires above all else, the enormous space to stack them all. He definitely had the keen eye of the beholder to see within the object its unique soul and the stimulating amusement it holds for the viewer.

Among many collections that are seen in this museum, I was particularly attracted by a collection of walking sticks! It was amazing to see each piece had something unique!

I have taken pictures of only the handle of some of the walking sticks. In this collection, what makes each walking stick different is the handle!
