Apart from the screen and camera, the Echo Spot can do pretty much everything that the other Alexa devices can do like turning on lights, reading the weather forecast and much more. The Amazon Echo Spot is priced at Rs. 10,499 and if you purchase two of them together, you will end up paying only Rs. 19,999.
In case you feel the Amazon Echo Spot is too expensive or just not for your taste, here are top 3 alternatives to the Echo Spot available in India for purchase right now.

Amazon Echo and Echo Dot
Amazon Echo Spot surely looks a lot better than the Echo and Echo Dot. However, the Echo Dot is much cheaper while the Amazon Echo offers much better sound at nearly the same price as of the Echo Spot. So if the sound is your priority, you should consider the Amazon Echo and if these are too expensive for you then the Echo Dot might make the cut. All these smart speakers run on Amazon Alexa.
Eufy Genie
Eufy Genie by Anker is technically an alternative to the Amazon Echo Dot. Eufy Genie comes with the Amazon Alexa voice assistant. However, what differentiates it from the Echo Dot, is its sound quality. If you are looking for a cheaper smart speaker than the Amazon Echo Spot, this might be a good choice.
