Prominent in the tourist map of Andhra Pradesh is the capital of Hyderabad.
Here lies the Char Minar, Mecca Masjd Mosque, Safdar Gunj Museum, Salar Jung Museum, Golconda Forts, Qutb Shahi Tombs, Nehru Zoological Park and the Hussain Sagar Lake.
When in Vishakapatnam, the flock of tourists are hauled to a rocky promontory jutting out into the harbor called the ‘Dolphin's Nose’.
Even more intriguing is Nagarjunakonda, a site where Buddhist ruins have been found from the waters of the dam, at Nagarjunasagar.
Mysticism is all over Andhra Pradesh, and it is nowhere more palpable and true than in Prasantha Nilayam Ashram of Lord Sri Sathya Sai Baba at Puttaparthi, called the Abode of Highest Peace. We can only bow at the thought. |
