One of the most populous and widely visited states of the Southern India is the land of pearls and mouth-watering sumptuous biryani – Hyderabad. Take a break from your monstrous monotonous life and enjoy the anatomy of the Nizams of the princely state. In terms of culture and heritage, Hyderabad is known to have a grandeur of stories and experiences to give light upon. Legends have it that Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah of the Golconda Sultanate, named it "Bhagyanagar" or "Bhāgnagar" after Bhagmati, a local nautch (dancing) girl with whom he had fallen in love. She converted to Islam and adopted the title Hyder Mahal. The city was renamed Hyderabad in her honor.
