    Hyderabad ( i/hadrbd/ HY-dr--bad; often /hadrbd/) is the capital and largest city of
    both the southern Indian states of Andhra Pradesh[A] andTelangana. Occupying 650 square
    kilometres (250 sq mi), along the banks of the Musi River, it has a population of about 6.8 million and
    a metropolitanpopulation of about 7.75 million, making it the fourth most populous city and sixth most
    populous urban agglomeration in India. At an average altitude of 542 metres (1,778 ft), much of
    Hyderabad is situated on hilly terrain around artificial lakes, including Hussain Sagarpredating the
    city's foundingnorth of the city centre.
    Established in 1591 by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, Hyderabad remained under the rule of the Qutb
    Shahi dynasty for nearly a century before the Mughalscaptured the region. In 1724, Mughal
    viceroy Asif Jah I declared his sovereignty and created his own dynasty, also known as the Nizams
    of Hyderabad. TheHyderabad State ultimately became a princely state during British rule, and
    remained so for 150 years, with the city serving as its capital. The city continued as capital of a

    new Hyderabad State after joining the Indian Union in 1948 and before attaining its current status as
    the focal point of Andhra Pradesh in 1956. In 2014, Andhra Pradesh state was bifurcated and the
    city became the capital and a part of newly formed Telangan state, while it will share the status of
    joint capital along with the Andhra Pradesh for a limited time of ten years from then.
    Relics of Qutb Shahi and Nizam rule remain visible today, with the Charminarcommissioned by
    Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah himselfcoming to symbolise Hyderabad. Golconda fort is also a major
    landmark of Hyderabad. That legacy is also evident in the city's distinctive cuisine, which
    includes Hyderabadi biriyani and Hyderabadi haleem. The Qutb Shahis and Nizams established
    Hyderabad as a cultural hub, attracting men of letters from different parts of the world. Hyderabad
    emerged as the foremost centre of culture in India with the decline of the Mughal Empire in the mid19th century, with artists migrating to the city from the rest of the Indian subcontinent. While
    Hyderabad is losing its cultural pre-eminence, it is today, due to the Telugu film industry, the
    country's second-largest producer of motion pictures.
    Hyderabad was historically known as a pearl and diamond trading centre, and it continues to be
    known as the City of Pearls. Many of the city's traditionalbazaars, including Laad Bazaar, Begum
    Bazaar and Sultan Bazaar, have remained open for centuries. However, industrialisation throughout
    the20th century has also attracted major Indian manufacturing, research and fi
