The National Museum of Customs & GST, also known as ‘Dharohar,’ is a unique institution in Panaji, Goa. Housed in a 400-year-old Portuguese-era building, this museum offers a comprehensive look into the evolution of India’s customs and taxation systems.
Visitors can explore various galleries that showcase rare artifacts seized over the centuries, including a gold-gilded idol of Jambala and a priceless copy of the Ain-e-Akbari. The ‘Gallery of Wits’ provides insights into the ingenious methods customs officers employ to combat smuggling.
The museum is open from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with an entry fee of INR 10. Due to its location, parking might be limited, so planning accordingly is advisable. A visit to this museum not only offers educational value but also a glimpse into India’s rich historical tapestry.
