the lofty hillscapes of the Eastern Ghats. Some of the incredible sights of
Andhra Pradesh are the world's tallest masonry dam, million year old caves.
The capital of Andhra Pardesh consist of the twin cities of Hyderabad and
Secunderabad and is famous as the former seat of the fabulously wealthy nizams
of Hyderabad. Built on the banks of the river Musi, and surrounded by huge
prehistoric rock formations like petrified, gray elephants, Hyderabad is a blend
of the fairy tale and earthy, a pot pouri of old and new. The domed and
minaretted monuments of the Qutub Shahi and Asaf Jha nobility and cheek by jowl
with massive grass and concrete high-rises. Banjaran gypsies in swinging skirts
and silver ornaments and black-veiled burqua- swathed women dressed in
chooridars or jeans. the hilltop pleasure garden where noblemen took their ease
now boasts of a brand new observatory. Like Bijapur in neighbouring Karnataka
state, Hyderabad is and important centre of Islamic culture and is central
India's counterpart to the Mughal splendour of the northern cities of Delhi,
Agra and Fatehpur sikri
