Telangana

Centred on the Krishna and Godavari river basins, Telangana developed into India’s youngest state, created in 2014 from the northwestern part of Andhra Pradesh. Its Deccan Plateau setting includes dry deciduous forests, granite outcrops, hot summers and monsoon rains. Hyderabad, the capital, is known for the 16th-century Charminar and a food culture in which Hyderabadi biryani is emblematic. To the northeast, Warangal preserves major monuments associated with the Kakatiya dynasty, including Warangal Fort and the Thousand Pillar Temple. Telugu is the principal language, while Urdu has a long presence in Hyderabad. Place Telangana in its wider Deccan setting by browsing webcams in nearby regions.
