Salar Jung Museum

Reviewed By 469daneshr

Salar Jung Museum is a collection or arts, artifacts, jewels from around the world. Salar Jung III was the Prime Minister of the Nizam of Hyderabad and his love for collecting artifacts is showcased in this museum. However, not all of his collections is displayed here. A few of the famous ones are Lord Vishnu sleeping on a serpent (made out of granite), The Veiled Rebecca (marble statue), The British Bracket Clock (a small toy comes out and hits the gong every hour), The Jade room, Double Statue of Mephistopheles & Margaretta (carved out of single piece of wood it has 2 distinct faces on either side). There are paintings by Raja Ravi Varma as well. It will take more than an entire day to visit all the rooms and look at all the artifacts. Atleast keep 2-3 hours aside to walk through the galleries. There is also a small souvenier shop on the ground floor. On a weekend the queues are long and try not to go on a public holiday as one cannot enjoy the artifacts in peace :) I have been to this museums multiple times and every time I lay my eyes on something new which I may have not looked at previously.

Kunda Satyanarayana Kala Dhamam transports you into a new world of joy, with the exhilarating boon of a vision of all deities, Gods and Goddesses in one spectacular mythological awareness centre. …SURENDRAPURI. Never perhaps in the history, have we come across such a colossal achievement towards enriching mythological awareness.

Reviewed By ShvRm_Traveller - Goa, India

The place is located near the popular pilgrimage center Yadagiri Gutta, about an hours drive from Hyderabad. This particular place was not very high on our itinerary but we decided to visit it, after reading the online review. However, on entering, we were delighted on seeing, what was on offer. The entry charge appears bit steep, at the initial instance, but feels justified, later on. The photography is allowed using mobile, on payment of fees. this is a theme park based on Hindu Religious belief. The place has replicas of all the important and famous temple; scenes from Ramayan, Mahabharat; scenes from life of Shri Krishna and Lord Hanuman; scenes associated with Hindu religious stories. The upkeep of the place and displays is excellent. The walking track, measuring about 3 Kms overall, is well marked. Amenities such as canteen and washrooms are available inside. During our visit, the place had very few visitors and it was an absolutely pleasurable experience to visit this place. Suggestion for the visitors is to keep the mobile battery fully charged, if they intend to take photos, as there are ample opportunities for the same.

Located at one end of Shilparamam, this open air park is dotted with sculptures. The themes are varied and made from variety of objects. There is also an observation platform from where you can enjoy the scene. A huge sculpture of Gulliver tied up is added attraction. The place also offers great photography opportunities.

Sudha Cars Museum

Reviewed By anandshivraj - Bengaluru, India

Amazing and outstanding place to see unique collection of hand made cars along with bikes and scooters models too. This place is covered with very eye catching colorful cars consisting of Cake Car, Shoe Car, Bag car, Bed Car, Insect car, Lotus car, Snooker car, eraser car etc. All these cars are operational and they are designed and built within short period of time. Kids will like this place very much and the one more advantage of this place is it is very near to Zoo park so if you happen to plan this place you can plan both this place as well as Zoo Park too. There are few bikes, scooters which are big in size and one can climb them and take some cool snaps. Ticket prices are also very nominal for Adults Rs. 60/- per head and kids above 3 years are charged too. Mobile and Camera ticket is must and they are charged at Rs. 60/-
