Inside Secunderabad’s new community hub for art and theatre

Secunderabad’s old-world charm gets a cultural boost with Platform 51, a new arts destination in Vikrampuri Colony, Karkhana, bringing music, theatre and art closer to home. Community-driven space Set in a four-decade-old house in a quiet residential neighbourhood, the space is surrounded by trees and retains its architectural character.
