1. CHARMINAR
Charminar, built-in 1591 CE, is a monument and mosque located in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The landmark has become a global icon of Hyderabad, listed among the most recognized structures of India. The Charminar is on the east bank of the Musi river. To the northeast lies the Laad Bazaar, and in the west end lies the granite-made richly ornamented Makkah Masjid. The English name is a transliteration and combination of the Urdu words Chār and Minar, translating to "Four Towers"; the eponymous towers are ornate minarets attached and supported by four grand arches

The Charminar masjid is a square structure with each side being 20 meters (approximately 66 feet) long. Each of the four sides has one of four grand arches, each facing a fundamental point that opens directly onto the street in front of it. An exquisitely shaped, 56 meter-high (approximately 184 feet) minaret at each corner, with a double balcony. A bulbous dome crowns each minaret with delicate, petal-like designs at the base. Unlike the minarets of the Taj Mahal, Charminar's four fluted minarets are built into the main structure. There are 149 winding steps to reach the upper floor.
