Experience
Legend has it that the City of Hyderabad, or Bhagyanagar (city of good fortune), was named by Quli Qutb Shah of the Qutb Shahi dynasty to appease his beloved, a danseuse named Bhagmati. He made the great edifice of Charminar, now one of the famed tourist attractions of Hyderabad where she once lived. When she embraced Islam and changed her name to Hyder Mahal, the city’s name was changed to match it and has since been called Hyderabad, literally, “the city of Hyder.“
