Telangana, despite being the new kid on the block, has a rich historical and cultural legacy to draw from. Whether it’s the tombs of the Qutub Shahi dynasty or the magnificent ramparts of the Golconda Fort; or the pop culture daydreams of Ramoji Film City and the ancient ruins of the Kakatiya kingdom, Telangana is immensely rich in heritage.
