Charminar is the famous monuments situated in the city of Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. The meaning of Charminar is “Four Towers”. Charminar is always on the top of the mind of any tourist from world visiting Hyderabad. To imagine this 400-year-old city without Charminar is like to imagine New York without the Statue of Liberty or Moscow without the Kremlin.
History of the Charminar
The Charminar was built by Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah in 1591 in the honour of his wife Bhagmati. Actually he wanted to shift his capital from Golkunda to Hyderabad. According to one legend, it is believed that Charminar was built to honor a promise Quli Qutb Shah made to Allah.
Design and Architecture
The Charminar is a beautiful and attractive monument in the city of Hyderabad. Each side measures 20 mtr and each of the corners has a tall, pointed minaret. The height of each minaret is 48.7 m above the ground. Each side of the structure opens into a plaza through giant arches that overlook four major thoroughfares, which once upon a time were royal roads. The monument looks very beautiful on the inside and particularly known for its carvings and moldings.
