Hyderabad is a vibrant city and is the “Silicon
Valley” of India. Golconda Fort in Hyderabad is originally a mud fort which was
later reconstructed in stone. The fort has 8 gates or Darwazas and the main
gate called the Fatheh Darwaza which meant the Gate of Victory. The fort also
includes a palace, a mosque and a parade ground.
Golconda was once the market city for its diamond
trade. Diamonds including the Kohinoor diamond, Nur-Ul-Ain diamond, Hope
diamond and the Regent diamond belong to the mines in this region.
Highlight of the fort is a light and sound show. The
timing of the show is different during summer and winter. Carry plenty of water
as it is very hot during day time. The light show in the evening helps to
understand the early history of Hyderabad. The show timing is around 6.00pm in
the evening. The best time to visit is by 4.00pm in the evening. You can go
around the fort and reach the light show by time.
