Charminar is one of my favorite places in Hyderabad. The sounds of bangle salesmen, honking horns and the Islamic call to worship come together in a symphony of urban sounds. It's usually pretty busy, but more people were there because of the holiday. Right next to Charminar Gate, there is a small Hindu temple which was celebrating Sankrathi. The temple was serving lunch to people, while others waited to pray. With all of the different religions in Hyderabad, it's interesting to see how they manifest themselves in a national holiday.
