SriLankan Airlines is giving you the chance to visit
Hyderabad and experience this magical Indian city which
offers an eclectic mix of the ancient and the hi-tech.
Located in the heart of India, Hyderabad is India’s
fifth-largest city and the capital of the southern state
of Andhra Pradesh since 1956. A city proud of its history
and heritage yet fast becoming the country’s IT
capital, Hyderabad creates a harmonious balance and
seamless integration of old-world charm and new-world
modernisms. From its geographically central location
Andhra Pradesh has always been a major link between
north and south India, with every major city in India
being no more than two hours’ flight away. This
strategically well-placed metropolis offers an alluring
blend of culture, couture and culinary delights that
is sure to fascinate and fulfil all its visitors.
Despite the crowds, the streets of Hyderabad are exceptionally
clean. Shops with modern facades sell everything from
designer clothing to hi-tech equipment. A stroll around
the city should lead you to one of the many traditional
markets and bazaars, selling a variety of indigenous
handicrafts such as exotic cotton and silk sari’s
and intricately crafted bangles of all designs and colours
for which the city is famed. Not to be missed is the
city’s Pearl Market selling all shapes, sizes
and grades of pearls from seas around the world and
the Laad Bazaar where you can purchase the traditional
silver metalwork known as Bidriware.
The gastronomic delights of Hyderabad are renowned throughout
the country. Influenced by Persian and Arab tastes rather
than Mughal, the local cuisine is more spicy than hot.
Delicacies such as aromatic biriyani and Seekh and Rashmi
kebabs with warm rotis or kulchas served with fresh
onion and a squeeze of lemon will send your senses reeling.
Hyderabad’s culinary redolence will permeate every
pore and sate every hunger.
A wealth of attractions for the culturally aware can
be found scattered across Hyderabad. At the heart of
the old city lies the massive, graceful Charminar: one
of the city’s most important landmarks often referred
to as the ‘Arc de Triomphe of the East’.
Across the road lies one of the largest mosques in India,
the Mecca Masjid. The renowned Salar Jung and Nizam’s
Silver Jubilee Museums contain a treasure trove of antiques
and art objects and the city’s Public gardens
are the backdrop to stately structures such as the Legislative
Assembly and State Archaeological Museum along with
the Telugu Lalita Kala Thoranam, the largest open-air
auditorium in the country. Other popular attractions
include the Botanical gardens, Tank Bund and Nehru Zoological
Park.
If you want to branch beyond the city limits, the Ramoji
Film City is an oasis of calm with its lawns, gardens,
rivers and waterfalls. Golconda Fort, the largest fortress
in South India, is just 5 miles from Hyderabad and the
two-storey Falaknuma Palace, magnificently constructed
in Italian marble on the top of a hill, is a historical
site of immense architectural beauty. No tale of Hyderabad
would be complete without mention of Cyberabad: the
‘most wired city in India’. With IT training
institutes on almost every corner and spread across
5000 hectares, this ‘City of Learning’ is
spearheading Hyderabad’s drive to become India’s
IT capital.
With the diverse array of captivating attractions the
city has to offer, it’s hardly surprising that
Hyderabad is becoming an increasingly popular destination
to people from around the world. A visit to Hyderabad
is sure to awaken your senses to the essence of all
that is Indian and leave you with the impression of
having travelled through time.
