A city that lives and breathes age-old traditions alongside modern technology, Hyderabad is as famous for its ethos as it is for its architectural splendor, food and hi-tech renditions. India’s first premier, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, described Hyderabad as a “microcosm of Indian culture” and the famous poet Faiz compared Hyderabad to the “Garden of Eden”.
The graceful dance form of Kuchipudi, the intricacies of Carnatic music, the aroma and flavor of Hyderabadi biryani, the third largest cinema industry of India – all fuse in a distinct form that reflect the distinct Hyderabadi culture. The hospitality and warmth exuded by the people bears the characteristic Dakhani Tehzeeb that Hyderabad, once called the city of Nizams, is famed for.
A blend of traditional and modern values, Hyderabad is also one of India’s primary IT cities and is the centre of India’s scientific and technological development, giving the city the names Cyberabad or Hi-tech City.
