It encloses the State Legislative buildings, the Hyderabad Archaeological Museum, the Health Museum, Jubilee Hall, the Indira Priyadarsini Auditorium, a Children's Library and Recreation center (Jawahar Bal Bhavan), and finally the prestigious Telugu Lalitha Kala Thoranam, an open air theatre specially constructed for Filmotsav'85.
