Why is Hyderabad called the Pearl City of India?
Hyderabad has been a centre of the pearl trade for centuries, and its markets near Charminar still sell pearls today. That history gives the city its name. For school groups, see Pearl City Hyderabad; for pharmacy and CSE students, the Hyderabad Pharma & IT Study Tour.
