Hyderabad: The City of Pearls

Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana, is a city where history and modernity coalesce to create a unique and vibrant culture. Known as the "City of Pearls" for its historical pearl and diamond trading centers, Hyderabad boasts a rich heritage that is reflected in its magnificent monuments. The iconic Charminar, a 16th-century mosque and monument, stands as a symbol of the city, surrounded by the bustling Laad Bazaar, famous for its lacquer bangles.

The city's architectural landscape is a blend of Qutb Shahi, Mughal, and European styles. The majestic Golconda Fort, with its impressive acoustics, and the opulent Chowmahalla Palace, the former seat of the Nizams, are testaments to the city's royal past. Hyderabad is also home to the world's largest film studio complex, Ramoji Film City, making it a major center for the Telugu film industry, Tollywood.

Hyderabad's culinary scene is legendary, with Hyderabadi biryani being celebrated worldwide for its aromatic and flavorful preparation. The city's cuisine is a delectable fusion of Mughlai, Turkish, and Arabic influences, along with the traditional flavors of Telugu and Marathwada cuisines. Beyond its historical and culinary attractions, Hyderabad has emerged as a major IT and biotechnology hub, earning it the moniker "Cyberabad."

Hyderabad has a robust and enthusiastic running community, fostered by organizations like the Hyderabad Runners society. The city hosts the annual Hyderabad Marathon, the second largest in the country, which is known for its challenging route that takes runners over several flyovers. This challenging course, certified by AIMS, offers a unique way to experience the city's landmarks, from the People's Plaza on Necklace Road to the Gachibowli Athletic Stadium. The growing participation in running events and the city's ability to host a major marathon with a demanding course make it an excellent choice for the SBI Green Marathon.
