About Hyderabad
Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh, and the fifth largest city of India, is known for its rich history and culture with monuments, mosques, temples and a rich and varied heritage in arts, crafts and dance. This 400-year-old city sees the traditional and the modern co-existing in perfect harmony. Hyderabad offers its patrons experiences worth treasuring. From its topography dotted with rocks and boulders to landscaped gardens, from the quaint Charminar to towering global giants, from the colorful bangles of the city to a multitude of international designers and from the delectable haleem to cuisines from all over the world, you will find the historical and the contemporary, side by side.
Charminar
Charminar is always on the top of the mind of any tourist visiting Hyderabad. To say that Charminar is a major landmark in the city is to state the obvious, to repeat a cliché. Built by Mohammed Quli Qutub Shah in 1591, shortly after he had shifted his capital from Golkonda to what now is known as Hyderabad, this beautiful colossus in granite, lime, mortar and, some say, pulverised marble, was at one time the heart of the city.
Golconda Fort
Golconda is one of the famous forts of India. The name originates from the Telugu words "Golla Konda" meaning "Shepherd's Hill". The origins of the fort can be traced back to the Yadava dynasty of Deogiri and the Kakatiyas of Warangal. Golconda was originally a mud fort, which passed to the Bahmani dynasty and later to the Qutb Shahis, who held it from 1518 to 1687 A.D. The first three Qutb Shahi kings rebuilt Golconda, over a span of 62 years.
Birla Mandir
The temple, built on a hillock called Kala Pahad, one of the Naubat Pahad twins, lords over its equally celebrated surroundings comprising the imposing Secretariat buildings, the azure-blue waters of Hussain Sagar, the serene and halcyon Lumbini Park, the luxurious Public Gardens dominated by the Asafjahi-style Legislative Assembly complex and the Reserve Bank of India. From the highest level of the temple, the spectacle around is breath-taking.
