This cultural center is located close to Hi-Tech city and Mindspace. There is a small entrance fee (less than one dollar). Full-size diaramas depict scenes of village life around India in a park-like setting. Two small restaurants serving local cuisine and beverages were available in the cultural center. There were many wonderful shops for souvenirs: cashmere scarves, saris, paintings, carvings... More

Another attraction at Madhapur in Hyderabad is the 30-acre village, which showcases arts and crafts of the country. India is an ocean of various arts and crafts but the talent of most of the artisans and artists goes unrecognised. To encourage them and give the necessary boost to their art, the crafts village hosts annual bazaars, where artists and artisans... More

This place is good for family and children. Good for shopping. But for young people its not so good. Can try it once. But there is nothing much here for young people. This place is crowded on weekends.

Shilparamam is a great place to go for souvenirs. You must haggle otherwise you will be paying WAY WAY too much. The stalls don't open until 11am and even then, not all will be open yet. You can get really good deals if you are a vendor's first customer of the day and don't be afraid to walk away--the vendor... More

I love Shilparamam. I get my ear rings,bangles and other trinkets from here. The artisans sometimes quote a very high price. You must haggle. Start with about 50 % of the stated price. They have a grand mela in December when artisans from all over India exhibit their waves. You have to pay an entrance fee of Rs. 25
