What:
Deccan Festival is one of South India’s most illustrious and extravagant festivals, which lasts for five days wherein everything you had (and had not) expected comes to life. Nothing is off-limits at the festival, which is without a doubt a melting pot of arts, crafts, mouth-watering food, lots of shopping, and exciting cultural performances from all over Andhra Pradesh. Organised by the Tourism Department of Andhra Pradesh, this festival is an honest effort at preserving, upholding, and displaying the cultural significance, and heritage of the state through more means than one.
What to Expect:
* Qawali, mushaira, and ghazal performed by esteemed artists from the state are in store for all of the five days of the festival. Brace yourselves, people, for this is no ordinary affair.
* Hyderabad is known for its pearls and it’s no surprise that the festival becomes a mini fair of bangles, accessories, and lustrous pearls. Shop to your heart’s content for you aren’t likely to find these exceptional pieces of jewellery elsewhere.
* When it comes to food, the festival prides itself in hosting a Food Fair, which brings the very best of Hyderabadi and Andhra cuisine to the visitors. Hyderabad is every foodie’s dream come true. P.S. Do not fill yourself up with just plates of Hyderabadi biryani for there’s lot more in store!
