The Qutub Shahi Tombs are the tombs and mosques built by the various kings of the Qutub Shahi dynasty in the 16th and 17th centuries. In the centre of each tomb is a sarcophagus which overlies the actual burial vault in a crypt below. The domes were originally overlaid with blue and green tiles, of which only a few pieces now remain.

"Luck and Hyderabad."
Lipthima and Shashi, February 2011.
Lipthima and Shashi, met each other in Hyderabad, by sheer luck. Here's the kicker - neither of them are from India.
So a bit of Hyderabad - in the form of an Auto and the omnipresent Buddha at Tank Bund with a little bit of luck for me, an ephemeral moment captured forever in the frame.

Paan wallah (and young intruder) in a Hyderabad bazar, Telengana State, India. 2007
Paan is a mixture of betel nut, lime paste and spices. It can be sweet (mitha) or saadha (with tobacco). The whole thing is wrapped in the leaf and used as a digestive and mouth freshener, although some people are litterally addicted to it and chew it all the time.
Captured a fragment of time at the Chowmahalla Palace in Hyderabad, where the minar gracefully ascends into the boundless blue embrace of the sky. Each intricately crafted detail echoes the tales of a bygone era, while the open sky above whispers secrets of timeless beauty. A convergence of heritage and heavens, frozen in pixels.
The Charminar (four minarates), constructed in 1591, is a monument and mosque located in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The landmark has become known globally as a symbol of Hyderabad and is listed among the most recognized structures in India. The Charminar's long history includes the existence of a mosque on its top floor for more than 400 years. While both historically and religiously significant, it is also known for the popular and busy local markets surrounding the structure, and has become one of the most frequented tourist attractions in Hyderabad. Charminar is also a site of numerous festival celebrations, such as Eid-ul-adha and Eid-ul-fitr.
The Charminar is situated on the east bank of Musi river. To the west lies the Laad Bazaar, and to the southwest lies the richly ornamented granite Makkah Masjid. It is listed as an archaeological and architectural treasure on the official "List of Monuments" prepared by the Archaeological Survey of India. The English name is a translation and combination of the Urdu words chār and minar or meenar, translating to "Four Pillars"; the eponymous towers are ornate minarets attached and supported by four grand arches.
