ABOUT HYDERABAD
Hyderabad, the emerging knowledge hub of the nation, offers a fascinating blend of tradition and modernity. A strong Industrial, Commercial and Information Technology Center, Hyderabad is the only city in Southern India, where the major language spoken is Urdu.
At the heart of the hustle-bustle of the city is its symbol, Charminar, the impressive square gateway with four minarets. Near the Charminar is the Mecca Masjid, one of the largest in the world. Another of Hyderabad’s prime attractions is the Salar Jung Museum, the world’s largest one-man collection, including unusual collections of jade, marble statues, rare manuscripts, Persian paintings and other objects d’art.
A short distance away looms one of the most magnificent fortresses in India, the Golconda Fort. And the Hi-Tec City symbolizes Hyderabad’s ascendancy in IT. For more details please visit Telangana Tourism website here.
