The walled city of Golconda was the capital of the Qutb Shahi kings before they built Hyderabad. Once a great centre of trade and commerce, Golconda was sacked by the Mughals in 1687 CE, after which it was abandoned. We explore the ruins of the city, walking through the commercial, royal and residential parts.
From there we move on to the Qutb Shahi tombs, where the kings and kings who ruled from Golconda, and later from Hyderabad, are buried. They are some of the best preserved examples of Qutb Shahi architecture, and provide us with a good setting to discuss the lives and times of the men and women who steered the desity of the Qutb Shahi dynasty.

From a couple of Hyderabad’s most iconic local favourites to roadside delicacies you never knew – we take you on a wild ride of kebabs and desserts and chai.
Food is an integral part of being Hyderabadi, and there are a host of dishes peculiar to the city.

This meant there were two centers of power. One was the palace of the Nizam, the absolute monarch of his domains. The other was the Residency, the palace of the Resident – the representative of the British monarch.
