Places to visit in Hyderabad

The Charminar

To the centre of the city lies the most wondrous arch known as the Charminar built by Mohammed Quli Qutab Shah, in 1591. The reason behind this massive structure is that the ruler thought that it would guard the city from preventing the evil forces from causing plague. With an altitude of about 56m, the arch becomes an imposing square gateway with four minarets and adding more to it is that it is illuminated every evening.



The Mecca Masjid

Close to the Charminar is the grand Mecca Majid with a facility even to accomadate up to 10000 worshippers thus making it one of the biggest in the world. Though planned earlier in the year 1614 during the reign of Mohammed Quli Qutab Shah it was completed years later in 1687 when Emperor Aurangzeb annexed the Golconda Kingdom. It is a must see place for the tourists.



Salar Jung Museum

Another centre of attraction of the city is the Salar Jung Museum referred as the world's largest one man collection exhibited in 35 rooms that includes about 35,000 exhibits. Mir Yusaf Ali Khan Salar Jung the 3rd, the Prime Minister of Nizam was the man behind its formation. The museum includes rare collections such as jade, marble statues, rare manuscripts, Persian miniature paintings and Chinese porcelain.

The Golconda fort, one of the best built architecture of the country is located within a few distances from the city. The fort is identified to the times of the Qutab Shahi Kings but many say it belongs to much earlier period when the Yadavas and Kakatiyas were ruling. Towering on a 120 metre high hill, the fort is surrounded and well protected with crenellated ramparts and the strong gates that have several iron spikes to prevent the elephants of the invading army from destroying the fort. The well planned acoustics is the unique feature of the fort which enables even a clap produced at the entrance could be heard on top of the hill. With all this amazing structure plans the fort is an outstanding work of engineering. And close by it lining the outer wall is the imperial tombs of the Qutab Shahi rulers erected amidst the beautifully kept gardens.

This zoo is one of the largest in the country containing vast number of animals and birds. Things like prehistoric animal section, toy train, and lion safari are outstanding features of this zoological park.

Built entirely out of white marble, The Birla Mandir is an impressive place to visit. Standing on top of a hill overlooking Hussain Sagar it holds a stunning view.

             

Independence day

"Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance.... We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again."
