It is also very well known for the unique Hyderabadi Biryani and Haleem along with the best quality grapes and mangoes. It has an exotic history and a number of tourist attractions. It was the capital of the Nizam’s kingdom and the confluence of diverse languages and cultures have made this city a true representative of India's plurilingual and pluricultural ethos. It is one of the most happening places in India as far as the IT industry is concerned. Climate-wise also it is one of the best because abundant sunshine and the temperature between 20-30 degrees Celsius (68-86 degrees Fahrenheit), make its weather quite pleasant between July and March.
