Guardians of Hyderabadi heritage  

A Dargah in Nampally retains its majesty and spirituality, thanks to its inheritors 

Today, heritage of the historic Hyderabad is being showcased in a series of monuments and silent structures that are the only remains of a past glory. But how many of us are aware of a heritage and culture that has survived through the centuries and still lives on in the heart of this hetero-cultured city?

That communal harmony reigned supreme over this part of Deccan plateau long before the principles of tolerance were preached, is something of a historical fact. And the land owed this to the mighty Qutub Shahi rulers whose lives and times were testimonials to secularism. Sufi – a beautiful blend of the Hindu and Islam tenets of spiritualism sans rigidity of either.
