We’ve all been to the #Charminar ,but many don’t know that apart from being the foundation of Hyd,it has designs of pineapples/squirrels in it, and also a mosque on the 2nd floor,which today is inaccessible. A thread on our city's most imp monument (pic is of mosque) #History
In 1591, Mohd Quli Qutb Shah, the 5th king of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, decided to move out of the Golconda fort and build a new city outside. That city was to be Hyderabad, the foundational monument for which is the Charminar. #Hyderabad #History #Charminar
We've all heard of the story of Bhagmati that’s associated with Hyderabad's foundational history (will post on it in a separate thread later, please don’t discuss here), but not many know that the city also has a story of a (bubonic) plague at its very roots, and #History

...first a warning: if you're the kind who gets yourself offended because you didn't get a joke, you may want to go read something else for the next couple of days.
(I also have a pretty controversial eponymous magazine.) But trust me, I'm not an anti-national!

I’m an architect with a BArch from CSIIT Secunderabad (the twin city that Hyderabad absorbed) and an MArch in Architecture + Urbanism from the Design Research Lab at the Architectural Association, London. Though my practice is very much driven by technology and experimentation...
...my passion also remains deeply-rooted in history and built heritage. Studying architecture in Hyderabad was a unique learning experience that was as valuable outside of the studio (if not more so) as within...

I usually refrain from posting things that are very personal to me but I found this hidden beauty here in the middle of nowhere in #Hyderabad that blew my mind. It was at an event that observed 110years of #MusiFloods and the activists took us down memory lane literally

As you can see its a pathway hidden somewhere amidst the bustling traffic.I admit to visiting old city only for work or for #Charminar & never even noticed this whole beautiful pathway flanked on either sides of #Musi that give a breathtaking view of Osmania Hospital & High Court
It seems I wasn't alone as the 100 odd kids with me were blown that something like this even existed. I guess it came up somewhere in 2008 when this stretch of Musi was developed as a Heritage Zone. Its about 1.5km long with entry point from HC and Salar Jung.
