Shilparamam Jathara

Shilparamam Jathara Vizag is an art and craft village in Madhurawada, Visakhapatnam and is a popular sculpture park. The idea behind building this village was to create and preserve traditional crafts and give them an environment to facilitate their growth. This crafts village was started in the year 2009 and is spread over a sprawling 28 acres (110,000 m2) of land in Madhurawada. Shilparamam Jathara aims to showcase the traditional art and culture for its visitors and to create awareness about its beauty.

 

The entrance to the village has been made to replicate a village house with three windows at the top. You can see sculptures of villagers looking down from these windows. Shilparamam is surrounded by beautiful landscape and the entrance to the village is decorated artistically. There are 36 stalls at the village that display woodworks, clothes, jewellery and local handicrafts of each region of the country. Each stall also keeps a variety of traditional produce.
