Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana reportedly featured over 150 elaborate sets, including Ravana's throne, which cost Rs 1 crore and took four months to build. Surpanakha's chariot cost Rs 1.5 crore, while a 50-foot Pushpak Vimana was constructed in four modules. Art director Ramesh revealed that 500–600 workers helped build Lanka, with Tiwari personally inspecting sets before filming

The grand world of Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Rise of a Legend is not just the result of visual effects. Behind its massive sets and larger-than-life locations is a team of artists and technicians who spent months bringing the epic to life. One of the biggest examples of their craftsmanship is Ravana's throne, which reportedly cost around Rs 1 crore and took four months to complete.

In an interview with Prabhat Khabar, the film's art director Ramesh opened up about the scale of the production and revealed how more than 150 sets were created for the film. He also shared details about some of its most elaborate structures and props.

Set construction for Ramayana began in April 2024 at Prime Focus Studios in Mumbai's Film City. According to Ramesh, every structure went through 10 to 15 design changes before being finalised. Instead of depending entirely on green screens, the team created detailed physical sets, carefully working on everything from floor textures and wall designs to gold embellishments.

Among the most expensive creations was Ravana's throne. It took four months to build and cost approximately Rs 1 crore. The structure was moulded in fibre using a clay base and finished with 24-carat gold leafing. Surpanakha's functional chariot was another major project, taking three months and costing around Rs 1.5 crore.
