Bought it off a fine gentleman who relocated to the States. A hand picked collection of Jazz, Classical and Indian music. Was surprised to have them in pristine condition.
Will take some photos soon and put them up.

Was visiting Pantaloon's store on M G Road and found tucked among the clothes in one corner a cute little gramophone.
There was an intriguing 78 rpm kept along with it - a non-film record sung by Habib "Painter Qawwal" from Aligarh (N36218). An interesting combination of career choices - what do you say?
I was wondering what he sounds like. Later I see his songs are on YouTube. They refused to sell the record. Part of their decor! [emoji2]

Some rare 78 RPMs from the earlier age of record production.
ZONOPHONE-WHITE LABEL Year : 1904-1909. This White label was soon discontinued before the war.
International Talking machine GMBH. Odeon.
Label Graphics Year of release between 1900-1909. That too an Indian artist.

Yes, I have read about the commendable effort from Mr. Sunny.
I wish, but presenting a paper on 78 RPM records needs a lots of research to put some "original content". God is not that kind on me now with that much of spare time. Hmmmm!
Wish I could at least visit the museum someday.
Hi Hildebrand,
Where in Bangalore can I find the 78s records?

I have a good collection of Malayalam 78 rpm records never played on grammaphones. I play them on a Dual 1019 using Shure Mono 78 cartridge . The magic of 78 reproduction is quite amazing. Many friends who come to hear music in my house enjoy the 78 rpm records to 33 rpm set up . This is because of the quality of the limited pressings of these records.
