Hyderabad is known for its rich history, culture and architecture representing its unique character as a meeting point for North and South India, and also its multilingual culture, both geographically, culturally and intellectually. Also known as The City of Nizams and The City of Pearls, Hyderabad is today one of the fast developing cities in the country and a modern hub of Information technology, ITES, and biotechnology. Sometimes Hyderabad is considered as the second capital of India, thanks to its geographic and strategic location in South India, where it houses the President of India's southern sojourn, the Rashtrapati Nilayam, a 150 year old heritage building.
The original city of Hyderabad was founded on the banks of river Musi. Now known as the historic Old Town, home to the Charminar and Mecca Masjid, it lies on the southern bank of the river. The heart of the city saw a shift to the north of the river, with the construction of many government buildings and landmarks there, especially south of the Hussain Sagar lake. The rapid growth of the city, along with the merging of Secunderabad, 12 municipal circles and the Cantonment has resulted in a large, united and populous metropolitan area.
Situated on the Deccan Plateau, Hyderabad has an average elevation of about 500 metres above sea level. Most of the area has a rocky terrain and some areas are hilly. There is a lot of cultivation in the surrounding areas with paddy fields and other crops which are grown.
Hyderabad is the financial and economic capital of the state of Andhra Pradesh.
The City has evolved into a cosmopolitan society due to the heavy presence of the Information technology Industry while maintaining ancient culture and traditions. Historically, Hyderabad has been the city where distinct cultural and linguistic traditions of North India and South India meet. Hyderabadis, as residents of the city are known, have developed a distinctive culture which is a mixture of Hindu and Muslim traditions.
Cricket and hockey are the most popular sports in the city.
