| Hyderabad & Secunderabad - The Twin Cities |
|
| Hyderabad is the capital city of the state of Andhra Pradesh in India. The city has an estimated population of 7.1 million people, making it the 5th most populous metropolis in India. Hyderabad is known for its rich history, culture and architecture representing its unique characteristic of a meeting point for North and South India, and its multi-lingual culture, both geographically and culturally. Hyderabad has been a place where Hindus and Muslims have co-existed peacefully for centuries. One of the most developed cities in the country, it is an emerging information technology (IT) and biotechnology hub of India. Hyderabad and Secunderabad are twin cities, separated by the Husain Sagar ('Tank Bund'), a man made lake made during the time of Ibrahim Qutb Shah in 1562. The Charminar (Urdu: "Four Minars") monument, built in the center of Hyderabad by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah in 1591, is a commemoration of the eradication of a plague in the region.
