Upon arrival, you will be transferred to Hyderabad your hotel by private car. Day 2 The city of Hyderabad was constructed in 1591 by King Hyderabad Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, which ruled this region of the Deccan plateau from 1507 to 1687. During this time, the Sultanate faced numerous incursions by the Mughals and the Hindu Marathas. In 1724, the Mughal governor of the Deccan arrived to govern the city. His official title was the Nizam- ul-Muluk, or Administrator of the Realm. After the death of Emperor Aurangzeb, he declared his independence and established the Asaf Jahi dynasty of Nizams. The Nizams of Hyderabad were known for their tremendous wealth, which came from precious gems mined in nearby Golconda (see Day 3), the area's natural resources, a vibrant pearl trade, agricultural taxes and friendly cooperation with the British. Much of the architecture still existing in Hyderabad thus dates from the reigns of the Qutb Shahi Sultans or the Nizams. European influences were introduced by the British in the 19th and 20th centuries. At the center of old Hyderabad sits the Charminar, or "four towers," which dates to 1591 and is surrounded by a lively bazaar and numerous mosques and palaces. This morning we will enjoy a leisurely walk through the area. We will stop to admire the colorful tile mosaics found inside the Badshahi Ashurkhana. This Royal House of Mourning was built in 1595 as a congregation hall for Shia Muslims during Muharram.

    Hyderabad City: History & Tourism

    Hyderabad City: History & Tourism Hyderabad is the capital city of the state of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh of South India. The city was founded on the River Musi by Muham- mad Quli Qutab Shah in 1591. The city is located on the Deccan Plateau and it is the fifth largest city of India. This cosmopolitan city is richly endowed with a variety of cultures. The city presents an attractive amal- gam of old world charm together with new world of hi-technology. Hyderabad city has a history of nearly four hundred years. All its began with the establishment of the Qutub Shahi dynasty. Quli Qutub Golconda Fort Shah seized the reins of power from the Bahamani Kingdom in 1512 and established the fortress city of Golconda. The history of Golconda goes back to the Kakatiya Dynasty in 11th century when they built a mud fortress on a hill called Golconda. Inadequacy of water, and fre- quent epidemics of plague and cholera persuaded Mohammed, the fifth Quli Qutub Shahi ruler to ven- ture outward to establish the new city with the Charminar at its cen- ter and with four great roads fan- ning out in the four cardinal direc- tions. The capital of the city was Bhagyanagar, which named after a royal beloved Bhagyamati. As she Charminar became the wife of Quli Qutub Shah, the sultan bestowed the title of Hy- 1 der Mahal on Bhagmati and thus was born Hyderabad. The Qutub Shahi rulers were great builders and patrons of learn- ing. Mohamed Quli Qutub Shah built the mosque, whose construc- tion began in 1614 and Aurangazeb completed it in 1687.

    Islamic Heritage Architecture and Art II 255 THE AMALGAMATION OF INDO-ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE OF THE DECCAN SHARMILA DURAI Department of Architecture, School of Planning & Architecture, Jawaharlal Nehru Architecture & Fine Arts University, India ABSTRACT A fundamental proportion of this work is to introduce the Islamic Civilization, which was dominant from the seventh century in its influence over political, social, economic and cultural traits in the Indian subcontinent. This paper presents a discussion on the Sultanate period, the Monarchs and Mughal emperors who patronized many arts and skills such as textiles, carpet weaving, tent covering, regal costume design, metallic and decorative work, jewellery, ornamentation, painting, calligraphy, illustrated manuscripts and architecture with their excellence. It lays emphasis on the spread of Islamic Architecture across India, embracing an ever-increasing variety of climates for the better flow of air which is essential for comfort in the various climatic zones. The Indian subcontinent has produced some of the finest expressions of Islamic Art known to the intellectual and artistic vigour. The aim here lies in evaluating the numerous subtleties of forms, spaces, massing and architectural character which were developed during Muslim Civilization (with special reference to Hyderabad). Keywords: climatic zones, architectural character, forms and spaces, cultural traits, calligraphic designs. 1 INTRODUCTION India, a land enriched with its unique cultural traits, traditional values, religious beliefs and heritage has always surprised historians with an amalgamation of varying influences of new civilizations that have adapted foreign cultures. The advent of Islam in India was at the beginning of 11th century [1]. Islam, the third great monotheistic religion, sprung from the Semitic people and flourished in most parts of the world.

It is the major urban centre for all of south-central interior India. From 1956 to 2014, Hyderabad was the capital of Andhra Pradesh state, but with the creaon of Telangana from Andhra Pradesh in 2014, it was redesignated as the capital of both states. The city was founded by the Qutb Shahi sultans of Golconda, under whom the kingdom of Golconda aained a posiHon of importance (second only to that of the Mughal Empire to the north). The old fortress town of Golconda had proved inadequate as the kingdom’s capital, and so in about 1591, Muhammad Qulī Qutb Shah - the fiVh of the Qutb Shahs, built a new city called Hyderabad on the east bank of the Musi River, a short distance from old Golconda. The Charminar, a grand architectural composiHon in Indo-Saracenic style with open arches and four minarets, is regarded as the supreme achievement of the Qutb Shahi period. It formed the centerpiece around which the city was planned. The Mecca Mosque, which was built later, can accommodate over 10,000 people. www.lodestarpropertymanagement.com Hyderabad Map Hyderabad city maps are not only useful for the tourists; but they are also useful for students and for every person who wants to get some informaon about the city.

    Hyderabad – the City of the Nizams

    HYDERABAD – THE CITY OF THE NIZAMS In 2008, Forbes listed the Nizam of Hyderabad as the 8th richest man in the world and the jewelry collection of this dynasty which was established in 1724 is rumored to be one of the largest private collections and included the legendary Jacob and Kohinoor Diamonds. Their colorful history and intrigues, their architectural legacy all make Hyderabad a fascinating destination. It is a destination whose charms have largely stayed undiscovered. TAJ FALAKNUMA PALACE - MIRROR OF THE SKY With the unveiling of the magnificent Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad now offers accommodation to match the rich heritage of the city. The palace was meticulous restored by the Taj Group, the work often overseen by Princess Ezra, the Nizam’s first wife. Restorers, artists and artisans were brought in from across the world and the far corners of India. The original furnishings, paintings and upholstery were all restored and the result is a breathtaking, authentic testimony to a rich and lavish past. To stay here is to stay in a museum, to relive a history of pomp and consequence. You approach the palace riding up the hill on horse drawn Tongas with the city opening up below you and the splendid façade of the palace emerging up in front. In my case the horse galloped up the hill so I had a fleeting view of the city whizzing past below me and drew up at the palace in a rather dramatic fashion! The best rooms to stay in are in either in the palace rooms and the suites which are in the original palace.

    Helpful Information for Scholars working in Hyderabad 1. place of research: Hyderabad, Telangana. More specifically the neighborhoods of Mehdipatnam and Ameerpet. 2. Hotels, Paying Guest Accommodations, guesthouses that you may want to recommend: I rented an apartment. I loved the apartment and the location and would highly recommend it. The landlords are Sanjay and Swathi Reddy. The apartment is 3 bedroom with three full bathrooms, AC in all the bedrooms, a kitchen, a washing machine, and two balconies. There is a large open living room/dining room/kitchen. The neighborhood felt very safe and central for my research…getting to both the older and newer parts of the city was easy. It is a bit expensive for single researchers (my husband was with me and working) at 35,000 rs/month but a great option if willing to find flatmates or if moving abroad with a family. Sanjay and Swathi’s email is: [email protected] I have heard good things about the hostel for visiting scholars at Osmania University as well as the one on Hyderabad Central University’s campus. In the city, Amogh (http://www.cleartrip.com/hotels/info/amogh-boutique-hotel-334800) is a boutique hotel that is not too expensive, centrally located, and quite nice inside. I like it because of its proximity to KBR park or the Pond for morning runs. If you are nearby the University of Hyderabad and want to stay with a family, I stayed with the Ramanan’s years ago and they still rent out upstairs rooms to students.

Introduction Agriculture plays a pivotal role in the economy of Telangana and the better performance of this sector is vital for inclusive growth. Telangana went in for the Green Revolution in rice cultivation in the 1970s. There have been significant changes in the structure and performance of the agrarian economy in the state in the recent years.
