This state has culture down till its bedrock. Whatever the perceptions of Andhra Pradesh: the Nizams, its rich Hyderabadi and spicy Andhra Cuisine, its size and population, aren't enough to show the layers and richness of its culture. There are beautiful temples at Warangal, and there are skyscrapers in Hyderabad. Visakhapatnam has a naval base, while Tirupati has the richest and most frequented temple in the world. Only a visit can give a traveller an idea of its heritage.
