i. Salarjung Museum
ii. Qutub Shahi Tombs
iii. Light & Sounds show at Golconda Fort
Unfortunately we were not able to take photos within the Museum, but worth noting is the variety of display within its walls. They had Indian Paintings, Ammunition, metalware so on and so forth. They also had beautiful craft from Persia, Japan, England etc. It is indeed admirable, the way beauty is captured in the Rebecca statues - the very intricate detail is captured even in the ceramic form...what a creation...then of course who would want to miss the magical clock - what amazed me is the crowd that gathered each time this clock was going to do its do...I mean - the foyer is practically packed - to watch this little dude come out and do his stuff.....so cute!!!lols!!
Then we continued our journey to the Tombs - personally I thought - why on earth are we visiting tombs - but the majestic structures that awaited was indeed something to be admired. There is indeed a history to these tombs as our guide, Mohammed shared - I will indeed post an additional post on this - as it is absolutely fascinating.

We then made our way to the GolcondaFort - the place itself - wow!!! The history it represents...to think that a whole civilization dwelt on the fort and their progress from prosperity to prosperity and their eventual demise......again - I will endeavour to post something separately on this - very interesting indeed...
The Light and Sounds show - together with the 'voice over' by Amitabh Bachan...lols.....it was colourful and the story itself was insightful........Totally recommend for future visitors to Hyderabad..
The day was well spent - we made our way back to the campus with our ever dedicated Organiser, Mr. Murli. Entertainment for us in the bus - was never-ending - with the ever so eloquent Mr. Anand and the Commandeering Mr. Rajiv...we were entertained to our hearts' content.
Awesome day - we look forward to more.
