Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana, is a city of contrasts. Once the capital of the Nizams, a glorious city famed for its pearls and diamonds, fine food and architectural gems, it is one of the biggest software hubs in the country today. Its historic sites include Golconda Fort, a former diamond-trading center that was once the Qutb Shahi dynastic capital. The Charminar, a 16th-century mosque whose 4 arches support towering minarets, is an old city landmark near the long-standing Laad Bazaar.
