The Manjusha Museum was founded by Shree D. Veerendra Heggade, driven by his commitment to preserving the historical utensils of the Dharmasthala temple.

Tippaswami became the first curator, expanding the collection and developing a comprehensive documentation system that included drawings of the artifacts.
