Hyderabad: A group of enthusiastic cyclists had a ride into the past!
The Happy Hyderabad and Hyderabad Cycling Revolution brought cyclists from across the city to the Telangana State Archaeology Museum popularly known as Hyderabad Museum located in the Public Garden near Nampally Station.
Taking the cyclists into the genesis of the museum, Mohammed Haseeb Ahmed, a young historian in Hyderabad, highlighted the exhibits that are pride of the museum. "This museum's most popular attraction is its Egyptian mummy of Princess Naishu which was brought in 1930 to Hyderabad by Nasir Nawaz Jung, the son-in-law of Asaf Jah VI. He presented it to Asaf Jah VII, who donated it to the museum. He had reportedly bought it for 1000 pounds. It is one of the six Egyptian Mummies in India," he said.
"The museum displays a huge gallery on Buddha dating back to the last century. It has a wide variety of archaeological artifacts from the Nizam and Kakatiya dynasty too," he explained.
