  • Discover the fascinating history behind Hyderabad’s ‘Charkhandil’, lanterns that lit up the city in Nizam era

    The term "Charkhandil" is not considered offensive by many families in Aghapura, as it holds historical significance for them. The name of the locality, Charkhandil, originated from the four lanterns that once hung at the junction. "Qandil" is the Urdu word for lantern, which gradually evolved into "Khandil." The numeral four in Urdu, "char," gave rise to the term "charkhandil." These lanterns once illuminated the junction and the surrounding roads at night.
