Charminar, Street and People…
The Charminar, built in 1591 CE, is a monument and mosque located in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. The landmark has become a global icon of Hyderabad, listed among the most recognized structures of India.
The English name is a transliteration and combination of the Urdu words Chār and Minar, translating to "Four Towers"; the eponymous towers are ornate minarets attached and supported by four grand arches.
Here the series of photographs show the bond between the Charminar, shops in four lanes and the people who always make the four roads busy round the clock.
In its heyday, the Charminar market had some 15,000 shops. Today the famous markets known as Laad Baazar and Pather Gatti, near the Charminar, are a favour, of tourists and locals alike for jewelry, especially known for exquisite bangles and pearls respectively.
The Traditional Food, like Biryani, Haleem, Mirchi ka salan, Double Ka Meetha etc. is available around Charminar. The area is also famous for its variety of shops. During the season of Sankranthi, the area is completely crowded with vendors selling kites.
We can find any shops from Jewelry to Iron, Flower to Fruits, Ginger tea to Coffee Day.
The road width will be approximately 100ft but it shrunk to 30ft because of the road side shops. Come here on the festival time…you feel the real heat…
Enjoy Hyderabad and enjoy the streets…as a street photographer I love this place, I had been here manytimes but I am not tired. Eagerly waiting for the next trip.
I am trying to bring the feel of the Charminar street, please do comment your feel…
