Kalapi Museum
Kalpi Tirtha or Kalpi Tirtha museum[1] is a museum of objects related to the life of Kalpi, in the memory of Gujarati poet's poet Kalpi. It is located at Lathi on the birthplace of Kalpi in Amreli district of Gujarat. There is a huge collection of articles written by the artists themselves, letters, the rare items they used, and the history of the monarchy. The memorials were also associated with the Kalpi Tirtha, where the Kalpati lived, the palace, which was sitting on the banks of the lake. This place is a center of attraction for Gujarat's literature makers.[2]

After the merger of the states, the maintenance of the royal palaces, the library and other memorandum of art was not adequate. There was nothing to be done for that, despite the many oops, discussions, suggestions. During 2003-2005, the then collector and literature officer of Amreli district, Pravinbhai K.

He collected all the money and collected the Kalpi Tirtha museum to maintain the heritage of literature, art and culture, with a memorial of Kalpi.
