Beautiful majestic creation of Ramojuli
The Baahubali set is one of the most popular stops at Ramoji Film City. Parts of the Mahishmati kingdom from S.S. Rajamouli's two Baahubali films (2015 and 2017) were kept after shooting and opened to visitors. You can walk through palace courtyards, climb grand staircases and stand in front of giant statues that you saw on screen. This guide explains what to see, which ticket covers it and how to plan your visit.
About the set
Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion were shot in large part at Ramoji Film City. The art team built huge palace and fort structures for the fictional kingdom of Mahishmati. After filming ended, the film city and the producers chose to preserve key sections as a tourist attraction, so fans can see the scale of the sets in person.
What you can see
- Mahishmati walls and gateway: tall fort walls and the main entrance.
- Royal courtyard: the open court with pillars and wide steps where palace scenes were shot.
- Throne area: linked with the coronation scenes of the film.
- Statues and artwork: figures and paintings of Baahubali, Devasena, Sivagami, Kattappa and Bhallaladeva.
- Bhallaladeva's giant head: the broken crown piece from the statue sequence.
- Chariots, horses and elephants: life-size models used as props.
- Shiva linga and underground prison: smaller sections fans like to photograph.
Why fans love the set
Seeing the scale of the palace in person helps you understand how much of the films was built rather than created on computers. Fans enjoy standing where key scenes were filmed, recreating famous poses and spotting details they missed on screen. Children who know the story often ask to see the statues first.

Visiting hours and getting there
The set is some distance from the main Eureka area, so the film city runs buses to it. The last bus to the Baahubali set has usually left around 4 PM. If you arrive late, go to the set first and see the gardens and shows afterwards.
Plan your day around the set
Most visitors reach the film city around 10 AM and join long bus queues. A simple order helps:
- Enter early and take the first buses towards the Baahubali set.
- Spend 45 to 60 minutes at the set while the light is soft.
- Return to Eureka for Movie Magic, the stunt show and lunch.
- Use the afternoon for the studio bus tour, gardens and rides.
- If it is a carnival day, stay for the evening parade.

Best time to visit
October to February brings cooler weather, which makes the walk around the stone steps of the set easier. Summer afternoons are very hot, so visit the set before noon. Weekdays are far less crowded than weekends and school holidays.
Photo tips
- Morning light is softer and the set is less crowded before 11 AM.
- Stand at the bottom of the main staircase for a wide shot of the palace.
- The statues look best from a low angle.
- Drones and professional shoots need separate permission from the film city.
Tips for visitors
- Wear comfortable shoes; there are many steps and uneven surfaces.
- Carry water and a cap; the set is open to the sun.
- Keep children close on high platforms.
- Do not climb on the props or statues.
