Andhra Pradesh
A Trip to Andhra is, indeed a memorable experience. With
an area of 275,068 Sq Km, the state is geologically one of the most ancient
parts of Peninsular India. The fifth largest state of India, Andhra is
rich in historical monuments and natural beauty.
Having a number
of holy temples, the state constitutes a great attraction for pilgrims,
besides other visitors. Tirupati, Having presiding deity Venkateshwara,
the temple of Sriramchandra, Bhadrachalam, Mallikarjunaswami, temple,
Srisilam, and srikummam temple are among the most famous temples of Andhra
Pradesh. The capital of Hyderabad is beyond doubt, the main tourist attractions
be it Char Minar or state Museum, Art Gallery or Salarjung Museum - All
of them have expositions connected with history, art and culture, especially
of the Nizam Period. Once noted for its mines of diamond, Golconda has
some famous historical monuments.
Alas! the place
from where the Kohinoor and Pitt diamonds came, does not have these precious
pieces to put an exhibit. The Nagarjuns Sagar dam is also a popular tourist
spot. So are the Yadagir Gutta, Nalgonda, Thousand Pillar temple, Warangal
and Vemulwada, Karinagar. Last but not the least, the largest tiger reserve
in India. Nagarjuna Srisailam Sanctuary, is the perfect travelmasti for
wildlife freaks.
