What is so special about this model village, you may wonder. A visit to this place will give you a glimpse to village life  and how the villages function. It is a close to reality sculptural journey with more than 1000 sculptures, into the cultural heritage of Karnataka's villages. You can see various depictions of village life like siblings playing in a house, classes conducted in a village school, the role of domestic animals in the life of villagers, how the letters are delivered by a postman, how a panchayat works, and home scenes from a regular day in a village.
