Falaknuma

Represented by the icon of the Charminar, Hyderabad the capital of two states Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, the city of Nizams.

The region is known for the mines that have produced some of the world's most famous gems, including the Koh-i-Noor, the Hope Diamond and the Daria-i-Noor Diamond.

A horse-drawn buggy conveys guests up the drive to the scorpion-shaped Falaknuma Palace, which was

bought by the sixth Nizam of Hyderabad in 1897. Its current

tenants, the Taj Group, restored the estate between 1995 and 2010.

Every inch of the Falaknuma, constructed less as an actual residence and more as a venue for entertaining

European dignitaries, was designed to be shown off. Elaborate stained-glass

door panels illustrate medieval English themes.
