Andhra Pradesh: History as alive

It Flash history


Hyderabad was our first destination. Superfast trains like the Rajdhani Express had no problems with


 connections to the city to reach. Generally speaking Telugu in the state, but now, Hyderabad has

become a particular bid. Indeed it called Hyderabadi dialect mixed with English and Urdu, in which a

significant fraction of the words are English and Telugu. Tourists and locals in interaction becomes

 much easier.


Hyderabad is a city where history is not limited to only the buildings, but also the customs, language

and culture is also reflected in folk art with. Effects of different cultures have lived in this area all of

them within their own cultures is absorbed. The confluence of cultures in the lives of the residents of

 Hyderabad still get to see them. At the end of the 16th century capital of the Qutb Shahi rulers of

Golconda, population grew by Mohammed Quli Kutubshah new city on the banks of river Musi

began colonization. The name of the city in the name of his beloved Bhagmati placed Bhagyanagar.

After being a part of the royal family to Bhagmati name Hyder Mahal was awarded the city of

Hyderabad was also renamed. British later developed new part of the city, whose name is the name of
the Nizam Sikandar fell Secunderabad. Delhi and New Delhi, the twin city became known as the

Twin City. Nestled in the heart of the Indian subcontinent, the town is located at an altitude of 536

 above sea level. Therefore, the climate often keeps ticking.

building about 54 meters high in the year 1591-92 porter Kutubshah ending the plague spread in the

town that time was built to celebrate. The minarets on its four corners, the name fell Charminar.

Because of the market is always lively surrounding. The lively streets filled with watching miss Old

Delhi. Mecca Masjid is situated at some distance from a minaret. Granite stone of the mosque is the

largest mosque in South India. More than ten thousand people at a time can prayers. During its

construction had taken some bricks brought from the holy city of Mecca, Mecca Masjid, hence the

term has fallen.

the museum's 38 galleries in the Nizam's prime Salarjung rarest art collection is displayed. Nearly

thirty thousand artefacts raised from abroad, are stored in the museum. By the same person

sculptures, paintings, costumes, manuscripts and weapons etc. We were astonished to see this huge

collection. A statue of a beautiful woman draped in a sari does not remove itself from the eyes of the

audience. In Rome, the statue carved by the artist so closely that the woman's face and felt flimsy

little veil to cover her seem both real. Some works of national importance in the museum are really

excellent piece of art.



Buddha in the middle of the lake

Hussain Sagar Lake in the heart of Hyderabad and Secunderabad is a beautiful. Located in between

 the rock of Gibraltar installed on 18-meter high statue of Lord Buddha is a special reason for tourist

attractions. The benign statue look closely we went by boat. The 350-ton statue was difficult to

establish here. When the statue was being brought from the boat, he was overturned boat and the

statue fell into the lake. Later in 1992 with the help of experts out here it was founded. Musical

driver asked about dining Hyderabad revealed that this city is a paradise for people fond of eating.

The Nawabs and vassals in time Mughlai food flavors in Indian cuisine including many dishes with

 new flavors were produced. Therefore Nawabi culture of the city, like the Ninth style of food is too

infrequent. Hyderabadi biryani and no longer can not appreciate the casserole. Royal Kebab, Dum ka

Murgh, Methi Murg Shahi Korma carnivores and people's choice, the chilli sauce, yogurt Bgare

 brinjal and royal favorite of vegetarian dishes are great. Also for dessert after a meal to take Imperial

 Korma, rice pudding, sweet Firni or Kbabi heads.
