It upgrades existing stalls, food court, sculpture park, boating area, amphitheatre, and multipurpose hall while adding an entry interpretation center on Anantapur and Andhra Pradesh arts/crafts.A 50-stall artisan village in clusters offers shared spaces and artisan accommodation, alongside an expanded food court, guest house, amusement park, exhibition areas, auditorium, and a resort zone with cottages, rooms, spa, and bio pool.
Landscape restores ecology with indigenous plants, biodiversity boosts, ponds, and channels. Pedestrian paths prioritize movement, limiting vehicles to electric options. Phased over three stages, it generates early revenue from key attractions before full cultural, recreational, and ecological rollout. The result is a destination that feels alive, walkable, and immersive, offering visitors both local craft experiences and a visually rich leisure environment.
