Extensive Local Attractions
Golconda Fort
Golconda is one of the most
famous forts of India. The name
comes from the Telugu words
‘Golla Konda’ meaning
‘Shepherd’s Hill’. Golconda was
originally a mud fort, which was
rebuilt by the first three Qutb
Shahi kings over a period of 62
years. The fort is well known for
its acoustics among other
attractions like the palaces. The
exclusive Sound & Light Show
takes you right back in time.

Shopping Delight for Delegates
Hyderabadi pearls & bangles
Pearls from all over the world are said to come to Hyderabad,
because the artisans here are skilled in piercing and stringing
pearls without damaging them. Hyderabad was a princely state and
a very rich one too! The royal patronage beckoned many a
craftsman from the Arabian Gulf, where rare original pearls are
found in abundance.
Zardozi - Embroidery Work
A Specialty of Hyderabad is zardozi (Silk thread and cord)
embroidery work. There is an amazing collection of embroidered
sarees, Lacchas (Long tops paired with long skirts and dupatta),
ghagra and cholis (skirt and blouse), salwar kameez and even
sandals with embroidery work.
Sarees (Traditional India Attire)
Hyderabad has sarees to please every woman, in the world. Ikkat
saris are the famous ones that are locally woven. However
handloom sarees from all over the country are available in
abundance locally.

Once regarded as the center of Hyderabad, the magnificent Chowmahalla Palace
was the seat of the Asaf Jahi dynasty where the Nizams entertained their official

its unique style and elegance. A synthesis of many architectural styles and
influences, the Palace Complex has been meticulously restored.
