The Charminar is the pride of Hyderabad. It was the symbol o Hyderabad’s prosperity during the reign of the Nawabs and even today it is a symbol of this part of India around the world. It is the most visited tourist destination in Telangana. It is a great contributor to the state’s new economy and I went to the Charminar along with my friends to experience the real beauty of this building.
The monument is made out of sandstone and stands on the banks of the river Musi and is a global icon for India. The surroundings of the Charminar are generally crowded because of the presence of many market and street vendors but this gives the monument a unique identity.

The Charminar is called so because of it Persian Architecture. The four Minarets or towers are located symmetrically around the building. The Charminar is in fact a mosque and the central part of the prayer premises is located on the second floor. The mosque is also called the Mecca because it was built from soil originally brought from the Mecca and Medina. The Mosque is among the most holy prayer sites for the Muslim population in India. The city of Hyderabad has a Muslim majority but the communal harmony of the city has always been an example for the rest of the country.
The Charminar Mosque or Masjid is one of the most popular destinations around the monument. I visited the mosque with my friends and was extremely excited to see the beautiful interiors. The Mosque is open for people of all religions showing the sentiment of religious harmony that exists in the region. The clock known as the Charminar clock is also a major attraction of the monument.
The minarets of the Charminar have been identically designed and are symmetrically located. They are designed with the intention to disperse the prayers to all four directions. The mosque on the second floor of Charminar is also extremely beautiful and peaceful. We visited the Charminar surroundings for some local shopping and brought a few replicas as mementos.
