Charminar, a definitive cultural icon of an equally incredible city, is at the centre of lanes, buildings and shops - hundreds of which lead into each other. A growing centre of attraction that mesmerises both young and old, local and guest alike in distinct ways with its stories, sounds, smells and tastes, it reminds one of a bygone era. In quiet corners, we find bits and pieces that make the locality around it a symbol of artistic splendour, cultural harmony and traditionally rooted living.
Join us as we explore the lanes around the Charminar at dawn, trying to grasp the evolution of a culture that has been an impeccable example of the “Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb”, of multilingualism, the inseparable Dakhni dialect, of the people and trade, the hustle and bustle, of religious sites, the ever-tempting food and stories that have passed on for centuries.
This guided tour is free.
