Hyderabad, (Telugu: హైదరాబాదు, Urdu: حیدرآباد, Hindi: हैदराबाद) known as the Pearl City, is the capital of Telangana in Southern India. Secunderabad, 8 km away, is its twin city. Though at one point the twins were two different cities, relentless urbanization has meant that they are now conjoined into one metropolis, called Greater Hyderabad.
