About Hyderabad

Hyderabad can be called the city of epithets with the many names it has been given due to its significant trade, food, or produce. Some of its nicknames include the City of Pearls, City of Nawabs, and Biryani City; added to it, owing to the number of tech-based companies here, Hyderabad is also called Cyberabad. Hyderabad is a 400-year-old city, which was established as the capital of the Qutb Shahi Dynasty by Quli Qutb-ul-Mulk, who is credited with building the Golconda fortress from the mud fortress it used to be to the expansive granite structure it became before it fell to ruins during the battle with Aurangzeb. The fortress is 8 km from the present day Old City of Hyderabad. Today, Hyderabad is the capital of the newly established Indian state of Telangana, located on the banks of the river Musi, on the Deccan Plateau. The city is a sprawling metropolitan cluster of shopping malls and tall glass-concrete office buildings. While the current infrastructure development taking place in the city might create traffic congestion and other hassles for tourists, the city will more than make up for the lax with its invigorating sense of warmth and culture and heritage.
