Taramati Baradari

May 30, 2009

On the way to Osman Sagar dam saturday afternoon, we stopped at Taramati Baradari. A dance hall (palace, they say) that the Sultan of Golconda built for his love, Taramati. Neat place, now also housing a APTDC hotel. The Golconda is clearly visible from the top; apparently the voice of Taramati carried all the way there. On a quiet evening with the breeze in the right direction, I guess it can. Click here to read the write-up in Wikipedia about this place.

Osman sagar was so-so; nothing caught my attention. People rave about it. May be it will be a bit more magical when the sun is setting or in the night with the right lighting. Managed to click couple of good pics of the sky though. :)
