Charminar - one of the most projected monument of India
on television, is not only the pride of Hyderabad, but of whole India.
Visiting this more than 400 years old structure is a great experience.
Built in 1591-92 by the Qutb Shahi king Mohammad Quli Qutb Shah, this
magnificent edifice is a structure of made of Char + minars (meaning, four
+ huge pillars).
The surroundings have numerous shops of pearl and perfume, which are the
major attractions of Hyderabad. As you move around this architectural
splendour, you can smell the fragrances of Persia, the attars of
Afghanistan and the scents of Saudi Arabia. There is also a small mosque
on the roof of the minar.
Rising to an height of 180 ft., the minar also has stairs, (which is
closed now) which takes one to the top of the minar. Once at the top one
can get an panoramic view of the surroundings areas, but some unfortunate
incidents led to the closer of the stairs.
