Hyderabad’s Study of Contrasts
Hyderabad is one of the cutting edge cities that has found a way for technology to co-exist with tradition, instead of overtaking it. Gaining a reputation as the Indian silicon valley, the city is more traditionally known as the City of Pearls. Contrasts such as these have come to symbolize this meeting point of North and South Indai, of history and modernism. Even the Hyderabadi cuisine is a mixture of Persian and Mughal flavors.
Home to the world’s largest film studio, Hyderabad has the second largest film industry in India. Tollywood, The Telugu Film Industry, is second only to the famed Bollywood. The city also draws athletes and sports enthusiasts by hosting many international and national games.
Throughout the city, visitors will find Heritage monuments, historic landmarks, and architectural wonders. Palaces, mosques, tombs, and ornate homes offer glimpses into the rich and multicultural past of this modern city of contrasts. The culture and heritage of this city blends Hindu and Islamic influences to provide a truly unique destination.
If you travel to Hyderabad, be sure to experience the fabulous shopping. The city is world famous for not only pearls but for its incredible diamond markets. Shoppers can also choose from textiles, ethnic clothing, traditional arts and crafts as well as the modern designer boutiques and malls of the Golden mile of Hyderabad.
There is a range of accomodations available to the savy traveler. Staying at a modern resort or one of the five star hotels in Hyderabad will provide the comfort and conveniences of the West while you immerse yourself in this amazing Eastern world.
