Hyderabad Tourism,South India Honeymoon Packages

Established in 1591 by Muhammad QuliQutb Shah, Hyderabad remained under the rule of the QutbShahi dynasty for nearly a century before the Mughals captured the region. In 1724, Mughal viceroy Asif Jah I declared his sovereignty and created his own dynasty, known as the Nizams of Hyderabad. The Nizam’s dominions became a princely state during the British Raj, and remained so for 150 years, with the city serving as its capital. The city continued as the capital of Hyderabad State after it was brought into the Indian Union in 1948, and became the capital of Andhra Pradesh. In 2014, the newly formed state of Telangana split from Andhra Pradesh and the city became joint capital of the two states, a transitional arrangement scheduled to end by 2025.

Relics of QutbShahi and Nizam rule remain visible today in many parts of the city and its surroundings. The influence of Mughlai culture is also evident in the city’s distinctive cuisine that includes Hyderabadi biryani and Hyderabadihaleem. The QutbShahis and Nizams established Hyderabad as a cultural hub, attracting men of letters from different parts of the world. Hyderabad emerged as the foremost centre of culture in India with the decline of the Mughal Empire in the mid-19th century.Hyderabad was historically known as a pearl and diamond trading centre, and it continues to be known as the City of Pearls.
