The entire complex is spread over a sprawling 7-acre area amidst lush green ambience with the fascinating backdrop of the famed Golconda Fort. This heritage monument was built by the Seventh Sultan of Golconda. Taramati Baradari is a historical Sarai as part of Ibrahim Bagh, a Persian style garden built during the reign of Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah, the second Sultan of Golconda. The Baradari was constructed on the banks of the Musi River. Today, the region comes under the city limits of Hyderabad, India. The tourism department attributes the name to the Seventh Sultan of Golconda, Abdullah Qutb Shah who as an ode to his favorite courtesan, Taramati, is said to have named sarai, Taramati Baradari. The tourism department promotes the location by romantic stories linking the then Sultan with a courtesan named Taramati. One such story goes that during the reign of Abdullah Qutb Shah, he used to hear Taramati’s voice as she sung for travelers at the sarai, while he sat two kilometers away at Golconda Fort. Her melodious voice was carried by the breeze reaching the prince’s ear at the Fort. Another fable tells of two ravishing dancing sisters, Taramati and Premamati, who danced on ropes tied between their pavilion and the balcony of the king and the patron, Abdullah Qutb Shah. Currently, with two fully equipped theatres, Taramati Baradari Culture Village is the perfect venue for music concerts, performing arts, social events, etc. The Baradari is illuminated in dynamic lighting and it forms the backdrop for all the activities. Taramati Baradari pavilion has 12 doorways and was constructed to allow cross ventilation, which was one of the most indigenous techniques to have been used at that time. www.hitex.co.in 3 The 29th and youngest state of India, Telangana was formally recognized on June 2, 2014 as a treasure trove of tourist destinations.

Shri K.T.Rama Rao said, ‘We have Facebook’s India operations headquartered in Hyderabad. Besides Microsoft, we already have Amazon, Google and Uber setting up their operations in Hyderabad which is the largest set up outside of USA.’ With Google, Uber and Amazon committing to invest about USD 250 million, priority sectors remain IT, electronic hardware manufacturing, aerospace and defense.

For instance, Kakatiya Fort, Rammappa Temple, and the innumerable temples at Warangal for the spiritually inclined: Lord Sri Ram Temple at Bhadrachalam, Jogulamba Temple, Kolunpaka Jain Temple, Mecca Masjid and the Medak Church. At the same time Telangana Tourism is also promoting the eco-tourism destinations in the Wild Life Sanctuaries at Srisailam-Nagarjuna Sagar, Amarabad Wild Life Sanctuary, Kawal and Kinnersani for the nature lovers.

The flotilla is smoothly operated vide a wide network of information and reservation offices located at important metros and through tour promotion schemes, and authorized booking agents. When it comes to marketing plans, the goal is to create a segregated identity and brand Telangana Tourism by making a new logo that is more familiar to the public at large. TSTDC is concentrating to promote unexplored destinations viz. Tiger Reserves at Kawal, Jannaram, Tadavai and Mannanur in Adilabad which are developed for adventure and eco-tourism. 10 Point of View bi-monthly | October 2015 Issue | VOL. 15 Telangana Tourism has taken up the responsibility to focus and promote tourism products and destinations of Hyderabad and also of the entire Telangana State on a sustainable basis.
