Shilparamam-crafts village.
SHILPARAMAM,The village was conceived with an idea to create an environment for the preservation of traditional crafts. A festival celebrated at Shilparamam is a “reincarnation of arts and crafts” when artifacts, related functional skills and supportive traditions are presented in a manner connecting the boundaries between theatre, crafts, music, dance, poetry-each complementing the other.Annual festivals of arts and crafts are held in March when artisans are invited from all over the country. This helps in establishing a direct contact between the craftsmen and the buyers and also helps in educating people on the value of their rich cultural heritage. A tribal museum is an attracting part of shilparamam.Special efforts are made to encourage folk and tribal art. Folk performances by artistes from the interiors of Andhra Pradesh provide an opportunity to the urban audience to experience the nuances of rural life and culture. Dances like the Koya of the hunting class; Dhimsa, the mild and gentle dance of women; Dappulu, a dance with simple percussion instruments; Veera Natyam, the arduous dance with acrobatic skills and a dozen more are performed.
