Description
Hyderabad tour is incomplete without a visit to Charminar. An amazing blend of Indo-Islamic architecture, Charminar represents the glorious history of the city. Built in 1591 by Sultan Mohammed Quli Qutb Shah, Charminar is a square-shaped structure which is 56 meters high and 30 meters wide. Popularly known as ââ¬ËArc de Triomphe of the Eastââ¬â¢, Charminar was constructed in the honour of Bhagmati, wife of Sultan Mohammed Quli Qutb Shah; immediately after he had shifted his capital to Hyderabad, which was earlier in Golconda. The name Charminar, which means ââ¬Åfour & x28;chaar& x29;ââ¬Â ââ¬Åpillars & x28;minars& x29;ââ¬Â came from its structure which consists of four intricately carved pillars, one on each side.
