Surendrapuri: Guide To A Mythological Theme Park Getaway From Hyderabad
Why Should You Visit Surendrapuri Theme Park
What Makes Surendrapuri Awesome
A land rich in culture and art, Surendrapuri mythological park is less than a two-hour drive away from Hyderabad. Now, we're familiar with Disneyland and the wizarding world of Harry Potter, but did you know that there's a theme park dedicated to Indian mythology?
Get lost amidst the vivid frames from Mahabharata and Ramayana or admire the Gods and demons churn the ocean for the nectar of immortality at Kunda Satyanarayana Kaladhamam. Expect surprises at every turn, from a giant lion statue at the entrance to a depiction of Saptalok (the seven worlds). All of the statues are made either from plaster of Paris or clay and coloured to perfection, throwing light on the sculptural excellence of the region. You can also find models of some of the most iconic temples of India in a single stretch here (so be prepared to walk quite a lot), and thus learn a great deal about our history.
Another remarkable aspect of Surendrapuri mythological park is that it has larger-than-life statues of Panchamukha Hanuman and Shiva that are 60 feet in height.
Whether you are a child or an adult who enjoys legendary stories, you will not regret visiting Surendrapuri. It takes about three hours to thoroughly explore the park and costs a fee of INR 350 per head. There's a lot of greenery around making it an ideal venue for a mystic picnic. Pay a visit to the giant Nagakoteeshwara Shiva linga atop a hill close to Surendrapuri where many devotees go to make a wish.
Pro Tip: You can also check out Yadgirigutta which has museums, hillocks, and more temples. If you set out early in the morning, you can still return on the same night.
