Event Information

Charminar

Charminar is the most iconic landmark of Hyderabad, built in 1591 by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah to commemorate the end of a deadly plague. This Indo-Islamic architectural masterpiece is characterized by its four grand arches and minarets, each rising to a height of 56 meters. Located in the heart of the Old City, it serves as a vibrant cultural and commercial hub. Around the Charminar, Laad Bazaar offers an exciting shopping experience, particularly famous for its bangles, traditional attires, and local street food. It remains a top attraction due to its historical significance and bustling atmosphere. 

Golconda Fort

Golconda Fort is a historic fortress known for its remarkable acoustics and strategic layout. Originally a mud fort built by the Kakatiyas, it was later developed into a granite stronghold by the Qutb Shahi dynasty. Its unique feature allows sound from the entrance to be heard clearly at the top of the fort, used historically as an alarm system. Inside, you’ll find royal apartments, temples, mosques, and scenic viewpoints overlooking Hyderabad. The fort was once a flourishing center for diamond trade, famous for producing gems like the Koh-i-Noor. Today, it’s a hotspot for history lovers and photographers. The light and sound show in the evenings provides a captivating account of Hyderabad’s rich past.

Hussain Sagar Lake & Buddha Statue

Hussain Sagar Lake is one of Hyderabad’s most scenic spots, built in 1562 by Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah. This heart-shaped lake connects the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad and is renowned for the massive Buddha statue situated on Gibraltar Rock, in the middle of the lake. The statue, made from a single piece of white granite, stands at 18 meters and weighs over 450 tons. The lake is perfect for evening strolls, boat rides, and enjoying the city’s skyline during sunset. Surrounding the lake are parks like Lumbini Park and Necklace Road, where locals and tourists gather for leisure.
