The replica of Anantha Padamanabha Swami Temple and the underground rooms (Nelamaliga) will steal the show at the Handloom Handicraft Fun Fair Exhibition beginning at Swaraj Maidan on Wednesday.

The exhibition management, known for their previous replicas of Taj Mahal, Red Fort etc. hopes that this latest replica will enthral the visitors. The special replica has been set up in a 60X60 feet room. Apart from this main attraction the organisers have also planned for the biggest and first Aqua Show at the exhibition.

They have also built a set featuring some of the characters of the famous movie Avatar with statues of the characters in a forest background. The exhibition will also have scenes inspired by Chandamama stories like the haunted tree along with 36 fun rides to entertain the visitors. Six amusement rides have been brought from China for this exhibition exclusively.

The exhibition will also have boat pedalling facilities in a unique three feet deep tank, food court and a snow world for the first time.

Known not only for the fun, but also as a place to get authentic materials from all over India, the exhibition will have over 200 stalls. The stalls will display clothes, interior decoration items etc. - all available at one destination for the convenience of visitors.
