Which are your favourite cafes in Hyderabad, and why?
4/4

[The Hyderabad Walking Co. @hydwalkingco]

Chai, especially Irani, is the ubiquitous Hyderabadi beverage, accompanied by an Osmania biscuit.

However, long before chai came to the city, it was coffee, or qahwa, that was the preferred beverage that accompanied discussions on culture, art, poetry and music. 1/4

Today, you can taste a variety of beautiful beans from all over the world, brewed by skilled champion baristas using pretty much any technique you can name, in dozens of cafes. A vibrant cafe culture has grown in the city, adding a new dimension to the its social life. 3/4

The founder of Hyderabad - Mohammad Quli Qutb Shah - was born today 460 years ago.

He famously penned these lines on the foundation of the city: Fill my city with people, O God, As you have filled the ocean with fish.

HAUNTED HERITAGE IN #HYDERABAD

A thread 🧵

Lately you see a lot of 'creators' claim so and so places in Hyderabad are supposedly 'haunted'. Most of these "haunted spots" are old heritage structures now in disrepair and disuse.

[The Hyderabad Walking Co. @hydwalkingco]

Iqbal Cafe is a local favourite and one of the best places to get a good #Hyderabadi #breakfast. We love their talawa gosht (beef fry) with puris and chai. Part of our breakfast walks 🥘

Join us as we observe the historical Deccani celebration of Mirag or Eid-e-Soori (Welcoming of the Rains). We hark back to Qutb Shahi times as we welcome the monsoon and eat some tasty fish!
Few slots left - sign up now!

[The Deccan Archive Foundation @DeccanArchive]

Eid-e-Soori is what the Qutb Shah called the day of Mirag. The Telugus call it Mrigashira. It is a day of celebration as the monsoon enters the Deccan and marks the end of Summer and it is celebrated by having a feast- with the star attraction being a dried fish!

Here's a thread about Lala Deen Dayal, one of the India's first photographers, along with some of his photographs.

[Uniquely Telangana @UniquelyTS]

Lala Deen Dayal was born in 1844 in Sardana near Meerut. n 1866, he joined the Government service in Indore but left after a short period to pursue photography as a serious hobby. Sir Henry Daly, the Agent to the Governor General for central India, encouraged him to do so.

While exploring the Paigah tombs with @DeccanArchive , we had a chance to look closely at two different tombs that are adorned with colourful marble inlay work. This is the tomb of Kursheed Jah.

[The Hyderabad Walking Co. @hydwalkingco]

Some of the semiprecious stones have been gouged out and stolen over the years, but whatever remains gives us a good idea of the beauty of the tomb.
