Located within the Ratnagiri complex itself, the Site Museum is where the excavations come to life — displaying Buddhist sculptures, inscriptions, votive stupas, and other archaeological discoveries from the surrounding monastery complex. It's a natural companion to the open-air sites and fits into the same half-day visit, best done between October and March. Shade, toilets, drinking water, and parking are all on hand. A small entry fee applies — see the fast facts for the current rate.
