Since the village is open all night, you can stay a bit longer and watch a late evening painting session a quiet moment you won’t see in the museum. The museum’s audio guide is great if you want a quick historical overview, but the village lets you ask questions directly from the artists. For getting between them, a shared auto rickshaw is the most common choice; it usually runs every 10 to 15 minutes and costs just a few rupees for the 2 km hop. If you’re staying near Patna, SHARDA RESIDENCY is about 129 km away and you can catch a local bus that drops you close to either spot.
