There is a Sculpture park, Rock Museum, Water Falls, Boating,
Grameena(Food Courts), Rural Museum and various other attractions. The
amphitheatre provides a good ambience for people to relax and enjoy a variety
of cultural programmes like classical music, dance & folk art performances
every weekend. The amphitheatre has a capacity of 1,500 people. Theatre plays
and dance performances are held here regularly. Performances by popular
classical dancers, music maestros and other upcoming young artistes are a
regular feature here.
The performances at the amphitheatre are dominated by the
folk and tribal art. This provides unique opportunity to the less privileged
rural folks who can come here, participate and meet the popular artists. The
Folk art is given more priority at Shilparamam which remains unseen and unheard
by the large chunk of masses, especially in India.
