Hyderabad
Hyderabad is located in the state of Andhra Pradesh in central India
between the cities of Chennai (formerly Madras) and Mumbai (formerly
Bombay).
Though Andhra Pradesh is a Hindu state, the city of
Hyderabad is approximately 50% Hindu and 50% Muslim. The region has a
rich historical and cultural history; many beautiful mosques and
mandirs can be found in greater Hyderabad. Hyderabad is also one of
India's most technologically advanced cities, boasting that they are
the "cleanest and most wired city in India."
Art in India
Though India is a large country, Hyderabad's central location gives it
proximity to many different regions and cities. Northern India is home
to great Mughul works of architecture, while in western and southern
India cave sanctuaries and relief sculptures can be found. Kerala
offers a wealth of options for performance and dance, and Mumbai is second
only to Hollywood in movie production, which it is why it is also known
as "Bollywood." Whatever your artistic interest, India is sure to
please.
