Charminar is an impressive & historic monument that defines the city of Hyderabad. During my visit, I was captivated by the grandness and effulgence of this breathtakingly beautiful monument. Although situated in a highly congested area of old Hyderabad, but the aura of this place helps to mitigate all your tiredness and discomfort completely. Interested tourists can even enter inside Charminar after purchasing entry tickets. There is also a beautiful mosque located inside Charminar that is worth paying a visit. While exploring, I had observed that a few of the minarets of this architectural splendor were undergoing renovation and repair. The Archeological Survey of India is doing a really commendable job in maintaining and preserving the Charminar. Do check out some of the photos clicked by me. Highly recommended to visit.
