| October 31, 2009 | Artificial village becomes tourist attraction in Hyderabad | | Hyderabad: An small artificial village in Hyderabad city has become
a major tourist attraction, as many people wanting to experience the spirit of rural environment are visiting the place. The credit of creating the Shilparamam village
goes to artists belonging to Visakhapatnam district, who have spent nearly a year
on its preparation. "The main aim of building this rural museum is to give people
the feel of rural environment and the village especially to those living in urban
areas. Here you can see statues depicting day-to-day rural tasks. Artists those
who have built this rural museum and the statues have come from Visakhapatnam
district," said Parijatha, Coordinator of Shilparamam. Many visitors describe
the village experience in the IT hub as awesome. "These statues look very real.
Here, it looks like they are selling real vegetables. The artificial tomatoes
look real," said Sheela, a local. "The idea of building an artificial village
is very nice. The rural setup and the statues reminded us of our past. Children
must visit this place so that they can understand the rural culture and tradition.
I think further such initiatives should be taken," said Padmavathi, another visitor.
The popularity of the Shilparamam can be measured from the fact that locals and
tourists from far off places make a beeline to see and appreciate the artwork. | |
