Throughout my life, the collection and restoration of each car have been driven by far more than mere acquisition; these are stories of connections made and promises kept.
What began as a personal passion has blossomed into this museum, where history breathes through the engines of the past. I remember a gentleman who once showed me a car exposed to the rain and how he felt when his son disregarded its value. That car, like many others here, was lovingly restored and now sits proudly in Payana, each with its saga of resilience and rebirth.
This place is more than a collection of artifacts; it is a living archive, a hub of learning not just for students but for all who cherish the intricate dance of history and innovation. Here at Payana, we preserve these legacies to inspire and educate, to kindle a passion for heritage in every visitor.
Established by Dr. Veerendra Heggade, Payana’s core mission is to celebrate and preserve the legacy of automotive design and engineering. Maintaining and displaying meticulously restored vehicles gives visitors a window into the pivotal moments that shaped automotive history.
Payana extends beyond the exhibition. We leverage our collection as dynamic educational tools, engaging visitors through interactive displays, guided tours, and public programs. These initiatives aim to cultivate a deeper appreciation of the craftsmanship and historical context behind each exhibit.
Spanning the earliest motorcars to the mid-20th century’s sleek designs, each vehicle and artifact at Payana is a testament to the eras of innovation they represent. Curated under Dr. Heggade’s expert guidance, our collection embodies significant cultural and technological milestones.
As Payana continues to evolve, our dedication to expanding educational offerings and enhancing exhibits remains unwavering. We are committed to ensuring that the legacy of classic automobiles is not just preserved but celebrated, inspiring visitors to explore the intersections of past innovations and future possibilities.
