Shilparamam
శిల్పారామం
A handicraft village beside Hi-Tech City, where artisans from across India set up stalls year-round selling handwoven textiles, pottery and wood carvings, with folk dance performances in the evening.
Shilparamam lies near the Madhapur Hi-Tech City. It covers about 26 hectares and recreates the look of an Indian village, with a handicraft market, a village museum, a lake and a rock garden. Craft fairs from different regions rotate here throughout the year, where you can buy textiles, jewellery and handicrafts directly from the artisans, often at better prices than in shopping malls. Admission is about 60 rupees. It opens roughly 10:30–20:00, and the open-air theatre often hosts dance performances in the evening.
