Bharat Kala Bhavan is an art and architecture museum situated inside the BHU campus. Here, one can find a large number of Buddhist and Hindu sculptures, paintings and other materials of archaeological relevance.
This Bhavan was founded in 1920 A.D. In its main hall, there is a figure of a man standing on one leg, holding one hand on his hip and lifting a mass of stone above his head with the other hand.
It is believed that this figure is of Lord Krishna lifting Mount Govardhana. Most of the images in this Bhavan ascertain the presence of Krishna cult in Kashi during the 15th and 16th century.
There are also several paintings from the courts of Mughals as well as other kingdoms. The Bhavan is divided into various sections like decorative art gallery, archaeological gallery, sculpture gallery, Nidhi or Treasures gallery, Chhavi or Painting gallery, Nicholas Roerich gallery and Mahamana Malaviya gallery.
