Located on the Deccan Plateau, Hyderabad, the sixth

largest metropolitan city in India is also the capital

of Andhra Pradesh. Hyderabad was established by

Mohammad Quli Qutub Shah, the fifth ruler of Qutub

Shahi Dynasty in the year 1591. It was only a matter

of time before the Qutub Shahis were replaced by

the Nizams. The city was famed for its riches, beauti-

ful palaces, and of course its pearls and diamonds,

during the reign of the ‘Nizams’ who ruled for over

200 years.

The city is an incredible mix of ancestral leg-

acy and the modern times. Its individual

character is defined by an elegant blend of the beau-

tiful, ancient palaces and very modern and state-of-

the-art offices and buildings. The influence of the IT

sector is such on the city that its outskirts are known

as ‘Cyberabad’.

Hyderabad is an archipelago of tourist attractions

and activities; explore the historic monuments and

museums, relax at the serene lakes and parks, relish

the scrumptious cuisine and enjoy the shopping ex-

perience. Hyderabad tenders a mesmerizing vista of

the past, with a blend of rich, cultural and historical

custom traversing over 400 vibrant years.

Built a quarter of a century ago, exclusively with marble pro-

cured from Rajasthan, the Birla Temple is devoted to Lord

Venkateswara, known as Balaji in the south. The temple, on the

Kala Pahad (hill) displays a fusion of South Indian and Rajasthani

architecture. The 11 ft colossal figure of Lord Venkateswara in

the sanctum sanctorum is sculpted in black granite.
