You arrive where the lanes tighten and the city’s pulse quickens: Charminar’s four arches frame a chaotic stage of vendors, rickshaws and the warm smell of chai. The monument watches over Laad Bazaar and the spice-scented alleys; a brisk walk leads away from that swirl into the cooler, hush of the Salar Jung Museum, where carved ivories and European clocks keep their patient watch.
