The Telugu Samskrutika Niketanam atop Kailasagiri is uniquely located and designed.

Overlooking the Bay of Bengal and the city on one side and the hills of the Eastern Ghats on the other, its view is breathtakingly beautiful. The lawns are tastefully done. The historic episodes, rulers, personalities, poets, saint-composers, poets, folk arts etc are depicted in plaster of Paris. In the circular building with a dome, the seating at the centre is elevated and rotating.

As the depiction of the sound-and light show progresses with the focus shifting, the seats rotate accordingly with the audience seated. The seating and ceiling are done in rich blue.

It throws light on the history of Telugus right from Satavahanas to Vasireddy Venkatadri Naidu. However, the entrance fee, timings of the sound-and-light show are not yet announced.
