Isfahan is located at about 400 km (250 miles) south of Iranian capital city of Tehran. Isfahan is considered to be a charming and memorable place and it is popularly known as Nesf-e-Jahan meaning that Isfahan is half the world, I name Hyderabad (Deccan),India as the other half. Hyderabad is charming and its historical monuments are being restored and the city was originally modeled after Isfahan and very soon people would appreciate the connection between these two cities.

Charminar – Architectural Centerpiece of Hyderabad 

Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah, the fifth Sultan of the Qutb Shahi Dynasty of Golconda described the then new city of Esfahan (Isfahan) of Persia as “unparalleled in the world and a replica of Heaven itself.” He ascended to the throne in 1580 at the age of 15 and ruled for thirty-one years. He founded the city of Hyderabad and this most well planned city was modeled on the city of Esfahan. Architects from Persia planned the lay out of Hyderabad City which was built on the southern bank of Musi River in 1591. Charminar (Four Towers) was built as the architectural centerpiece and it defines the center of the Hyderabad City. He married a Telangana Telugu woman named Bhagmati and hence the city is known as ‘BHAGYA NAGAR’. He gave her the name Hyder Mahal and the city got its name from her new identity. He built Jama Masjid in 1597.
