A Zoomed in Photograph of Charminar in Hyderabad


The fifth ruler of Qutub Shahi Dynasty, Muhammed Qutub Shah built this amazing structure. The Beauty of Islamic architecture is clearly seen in detail if Charminar is observed closely. A small garden is located in the compound and one will have to wait for their turn to take ticket to see this marvelous wonder. Photography and Videography is allowed provided we pay for it.

 Charminar is surrounded by lots of street vendors who sell varieties of products for cheaper rate where bargaining capacity of people should come in handy! The Laad bazaar is exclusively known for the traditional jewellery, which mainly includes pearl ornaments which they sell. The Hyderabadi Biriyani is one of the most preferred food when it comes to Hyderabadi cusine.

As per the information derived from the local residers, the Hyderabad muslims living in Pakistan constructed a small scale replica of charminar at Bahadurabad near Karachi. The bustling traffic of the old city of Hyderabad can be clearly picturised from the top floor of Charminar.
