Thanks to the efforts of the World Telugu Federation under the Dr.V.L.Indira Dutt, a Telugu Heritage Museum has been created on the Kailasagiri Hills about 4 years ago. " Telugu culture is unique and forms a crucial part of the history of our country. Telugu is a mellifluous language which is full of rhythm , world class literature, age old folk arts and enthralling music that gave the scintillating Carnatic Music School to South India. The Lepakshi handicrafts, Gadwal, Venkatagiri and Pochampalli handlooms are some of the finest examples. However, it was not until now that a museum was made for the promotion of Telugu culture. We at the WTF were really fortunate to create the Telugu Heritage Museum on a plot given by the Government on the Kailasagiri Hills in Vizag. The Telugu Saamskruthika Nikethanam atop the Kailasagiri Hills was inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh - N.Chandrababu Naidu and the incumbent Vice President Venkiah Naidu.
The President of WTF Dr.V.L.Indira Dutt was all smiles while talking about the features of the museum , " Telugu Heritage Museum , a historic project was the dream of every Telugu. Its now a reality. It is spread on a large campus in the picturesque Kailasagiri Hill and was constructed at a cost of Rs.8 crores. Its a sound and light system which aids the visitor. The museum showcases the architecture, music, folk arts, fine arts as well as the language, literature, literature, music and the history of the Telugu people from the days of the Satavahanas to the present era. It will promote Telugu art forms and uniquely present our regal glory and mystic charm to enable the global audience understand the various facets of Telugu Culture. We want to promote our unique language , culture and heritage in a peaceful and friendly manner all around the world."
