Inside the Ekiyat it is decorated no less original. For example, benches for rest in halls are similar to royal thrones - small visitors can not simply have a rest, but also play, fantasize on a given topic. The floors in the hall look like a huge chessboard. And in general in the Tatar State Puppet Theater "Ekiyat" is very spacious, light and cozy.
