Telangana

Telangana, India’s youngest state formed in 2014, is a land of rich cultural fusion between Telugu and Deccan heritage. Its capital Hyderabad, shared with Andhra Pradesh as a temporary joint capital, is a major IT and business hub known as Cyberabad. Hyderabad’s landmarks like the Charminar, Golconda Fort, and the historic Qutb Shahi Tombs highlight its glorious Nizam-era legacy. The cuisine, especially Hyderabadi biryani and haleem, reflects its Indo-Islamic roots.

Beyond the capital, Telangana has many attractions like the Ramappa Temple (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Warangal Fort, and the Thousand Pillar Temple. The Godavari and Krishna rivers nourish its agriculture, while festivals like Bathukamma celebrate women and nature. Telangana has contributed significantly to Indian politics and literature, with personalities like P. V. Narasimha Rao (former Prime Minister) and Kaloji Narayana Rao. The state balances modern tech growth with deep-rooted cultural identity.
