Hyderabad is the capital of Telangana in Southern India, located on the banks of the Musi River and on the Deccan Plateau.
Hyderabad and Secunderabad are "twin cities" near Hussain Sagar Lake (also known as Tank Bund in local parlance) but both cities have grown so much that now they have become one big metropolis. The city and district of Hyderabad are coterminous.
Hyderabad district is entirely contained within the Ranga Reddy district of Telangana. Many of the suburbs of Hyderabad were recently merged into the city, now called Greater Hyderabad.
A major center for the technology industry, it's home to many upscale restaurants and shops.Its historic sites include Golconda Fort, a former diamond-trading center that was once the Qutb Shahi dynastic capital..
The Carminar, a 16th-century mosque whose 4 arches support towering minarets, is an old city landmark near the long-standing Laad Bazaar.
