Ramji Film City is the prime attraction on the tour of Hyderabad in India.
It hosts several studios where sets of various Indian street scenes are built to give the same look and feel like the real ones.
You can see some amazing photos of the various film sets in this previous article.
Another attraction within the Ramji Film City is where the Wild Wild West of North America is set up. This was the era in US history during the 19th century, a period of the myth-making cowboy, gunslingers, and saloon madames that began after the Civil War in 1865 and ended around 1895.
The frontier area west of the Mississippi River during the late 1800s included the territories of Dakota, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Colorado. The untamed territories were noted for their lawlessness, which gave rise to wild, rowdy, unrestrained, disorderly, and unruly behavior.
The landscape was dotted with the typical 20th century American wooden houses, which are recreated in this part of the Ramoji Film City.
Plenty of opportunities exist for taking fun photos like this one where you can pose in the costume of a cowboy in the typical Mexican hat and diamond-shaped muffler just by standing behind the cutout and sticking out your neck through the hole.
There is also a stunt show where actors dressed up as cowboys simulate the Gunfight that happened at the O.K. Corral on Wednesday, 26-Oct-1881, in Tombstone, Arizona Territory wherein deputy marshall Wyatt Earp and his brothers Virgil Earp and Morgan Earp, with the support of Doc Holliday, confronted the Clanton Gang of outlaws and cowboys.
