Hyderabad

May 2012 Mosque of Shaikpetsarai in Hyderabad Built in 1550-80 by Ibrahim Qutubshah as part of caravanserai near Golconda fort and Qutubshahi necropolis. Tradesmen were waiting there with their goods for clearance before entering the walled city of Golconda. It is a fine example of Hyderabadi architecture mixing the Persian influence (arches, geometry) with Indian love for detail and decoration (stucco use, minarets). Recently in renovation using the traditional way of building. Not in the usual tourist tracks, but worth a visit (Maruti colony, Shaikpet village, north of Qutubshahi tombs).
