Introduction :
|
|
Andhra Pradesh comprises of fertile coastal plains, semi arid Deccan
plateau and the lofty hillscapes of the Eastern Ghats. Some of the
incredible sights of Andhra Pradesh are the world's tallest masonry dam,
million year old caves.Andhra Pradesh is one of the oldest state of
India and was created by combining the old princely state of Hyderabad
with the Telgu-speaking portions of the former state of Madras.The
city’s historical connection traces itself to the rulers or Nizams whose
wealth was legendary. Rooms full of jewels and currency notes, a garage
full of gleaming Rolls Royce’s are all now part of history, but a unique
culture lives on, colouring the city with its distinctive charm. The
Epicurean tastes of this most exalted royal house of princely India gave
rise to a fabled cuisine based on painstaking preparations and slow
cooking. Much of Hyderabad’s old town can be covered on foot. The city’s
important landmarks include Charminar, a 16th century gateway, the Salar
Jung Museum which exhibits priceless treasures alongside trivia that
made up the personal collection of the owner, Mecca Mosque and Golconda
Fort. Nagarjunakonda is the site of ongoing excavations which have
revealed Buddhist temples, stupas and monasteries. |
