When a poet, architect and an aesthete supervises the building of a city, beauty, balance and symmetry are to be expected.
What leads romance to the city of Hyderabad, is the love story of a young prince and a village belle that resulted in its very foundations being laid.
There is a love story related to the founding of the city of Hyderabad. As a young prince, Muhammad Quli fell
passionately in love with a maiden from Chichlam village across the river Musi. He would even venture to cross the
river in spate to keep his tryst with his beloved. Ibrahim Qutb Shah, his father, built a bridge on the river so that the crown prince did not endanger his life. When he ascended the throne, Muhammad Quli built a grand structure, the Charminar,at the site of the village. The city was called Bhagnagar to appease his beloved, Bhagmati. Later on it was called Hyderabad. Bhagnagar means city of good fortune. Farkhunda Buniyad, the Persian chronogrammatic name of the city yields the same meaning.
There are several places to see and
visit in and around the city of Hyderabad. The Charminar is
the hub of the city, has four wide roads radiating in the four
cardinal directions. The four minarets command the landscape
for miles. The structure is square, each side measuring 100
feet, with a central pointed high arch at the center. The
whole edifice contains numerous small decorative arches
arranged both vertically and horizontally.
