Andhra Pradesh Discover a delightful family destination

Andhra Pradesh

Rich Past, Vibrant Present, Bright Future

“Maa Telugu Talli”

The Mother Goddess of Andhra Pradesh

Andhra Pradesh has a very rich cultural background. Historians date life in the area to the Paleolithic age of some 3, 00,000 years ago. Of course, recorded history points to existence of societies as early as the sixth century BC in the Krishna and Godavari valleys.

From such a background emerges the modern day Andhra Pradesh, on the forefront not just alphabetically. Its people are achievers who display a rare hospitality and courtesy. The state is today on the top internationally in regarded to information technology and its capital Hyderabad has metamorphosed into one of the best cities in the country.

Starting with a purely Andhra or Telugu culture, the people of the state have over the years imbibed the graces of Persian and Turkish cultures brought in by Muslim rulers. A confluence of such cultures has created an exclusive “Deccani” culture that combines hospitality, grace, appreciation of beauty and a passion to excel.

It is the driving passion that has brought the state to the foremost position today. It already has valuable gifts that nature has endowed it with a long coastline bordered by clean beaches, hills, forests and a meteorologically and socially pleasant climate.

It is not for nothing that global investors have found Andhra Pradesh ideal for setting up the units. International IT giants were among the first to be taken in by the Hi-tec City near Hyderabad and its environs that form Cyberabad – the IT destination.
