| India’s sixth largest city is situated
in the heart of the Deccan Plateau, at a height of 521 metres. It flanks
the Musi River to which it owes its existence. Located in the south
central part of India, this city has a distinct identity of its own,
amalgamating the cultures of north and south. A cosmopolitan city,
Hyderabad is a centre of attraction for its blend of Moghul grandeur and
modernity. Secunderabad
is a newer sibling of Hyderabad – a city that has grown from obscure
beginnings as a British Garrison to a bustling, crowded city on the other
side of Husain Sagar. Secunderabad may have grown but it still
predominantly remains a cantonment, a major station for the Indian Army. |
