Ria's Trip to Hyderabad, India, March-April 2006
Ria travelled to Hyderabad, India, by air with her family to meet her cousins and observe the Hyderabad culture, which contains an amalgam of both Hindu and Islamic elements.
Ria spent about two hours at the Salar Jung Museum, a repository of historical art and artifacts collected and inherited by Mir Yousuf Ali Khan, popularly known as Salar Jung III.
Ria, in front of Charminar (four towers), built by Mohammed Quli Qutub Shah in 1591 as a center of attraction for the emerging city.
