Institutions
Osmania University, Jamia Nizamia, the Salar Jung Museum, Tibbi College — the schools, colleges, hospitals and libraries of the Deccan and Hyderabad State.
ExploreBeyond its dynasties and its sacred sites, the Deccan is marked by the works its rulers and citizens built to last — the forts, palaces, tombs and monuments that punctuate the plateau, and the institutions of learning, medicine and culture that carried the region into the modern age. Together they are the visible record of a civilisation.
This section gathers those landmarks in two strands: the monuments of stone and the institutions of mind — the universities, colleges, hospitals, libraries and museums founded across the Deccan and the old Hyderabad State.
