At the main entrance, the visitors will be welcomed by a fountain and a staircase. “This is one of the unique projects with seamless stainless steel. We followed the method as per the sequence of insulation. The metal comes from Dubai by ship. We started the installation in May & completed it in 6 months,” informed Muthuswami, Supervisor, Grankraft Industries LLC.      

The high-end 316 L quality stainless steel has been used to make the outer layer of the spherical structure. The lamp-shaped structure can accommodate around 300 cars and 600 two-wheelers. The first floor of the memorial structure will have a photo gallery, museum, and art gallery. There will be a convention centre and a restaurant on the second and third floor respectively. 

The museum will feature the Telangana movement in pictures of the events of the agitation from 1969 until the 2000s when statehood was finally achieved.
