The City of Hyderabad
400 years ago, Sultan Mohammed Quli, prince, poet and lover wanted to build a city unequaled in the world,
a replica of Paradise itself! The magnificent Charminar— synonym for Hyderabad now — formed the center
of new city Hyderabad of unparallel splendor.
A cosmopolitan city, Hyderabad has much to offer to the visiting delegates by way of tourist attractions such
as Charminar—a magnificent four minaret structure, the Mecca Masjid—the second biggest mosque in
India, and Falaknuma Palace—one of the most attractive palaces of the world. The Salarjung Museum-a
marvelous one-man collection, Buddha statue—world’s tallest monolithic statue. The Sri Venkateswara temple
and Golconda Fort, is known for its excellence in engineering evident even today in terms of its acoustics,
layout and impregnable fortification. Hyderabad is famous for its pearls, jewellery & clothes which come from
all over the world. The city also has something special to offer for ladies– Bangles at Chudi Bazar—made
famous by the poetess Sarojini Naidu in her “Bangle Sellers”. Hyderabad has become ‘Cyberabad’ with
entrepreneurship, drive and avid interest of software professionals and Hitech City providing infrastructure to
leading software companies.
