The advantage that monuments have over humans is that the word heritage used in referring to them adds to their self-esteem. And here's a week for a lot of structures in town to feel good, and especially for the grandmommy of 'em all.
The Tourism Department is celebrating a tourism heritage week that took off on the 21st of this month with the theme "Tourism - A Tool for Peace". From the 21st to the 25th of September, the department has organized several programs on heritage, and also a tourism photo contest, a quiz contest and competitions for school children. The objective was to create awareness among the people about Hyderabad's heritage.
The main events will take place on the last day, i.e. 27th September, and as the part of the week's culmination, the department will illuminate important heritage structures, besides arrange for the inauguration of a fountain in Charminar and a remote sensing system by the Chief Minister. Later in the evening, Kathak dance performances by Raghav Raj Bhatt and Birju Maharaj, ghazals by Pankaj Udhas and a Mazahiya Mushaira by Zinda Dilan-e-Hyderabad will take place.
