Mythological Trail of Manav Sangrahalaya
Long time ago God created man, animals and plants but didn’t find earth to place them, as it was full of water. He asked crow to find the earth. On his mission he met the crab who told him that the earth has been taken away deep underground by the earthworm. The crow caught the earthworm that was nibbling away the earth. He flew with earthworm to God where he took some earth from its mouth and placed it into the sea. The sea was churned with the rope made from entwined snakes. As a result the earth got deposited on the surface of water but remained unstable. God thought of stabilizing it with nails. Twelve Agariya brothers, fourteen Kansasur brothers and thirteen Tamasur brothers made the nails of iron, bronze and copper, and only after that the earth could be fixed in place. God tested its strength and after getting assured he put all his creations on it. The unique thing about the iron plate is that it is created by beating and twisting the iron sheet and without a single joint in it.
