Charminar
The Charminar ( “four minarets”), constructed in 1591, is a monument and mosque located in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The landmark has become known globally as a symbol of Hyderabad and is listed among the most recognized structures in India. It has also been officially incorporated as the Emblem of Telangana for the state of Telangana.
The fifth ruler of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, built the Charminar in 1591 after shifting his capital from Golkonda to the newly formed city of Hyderabad.
However, it is widely accepted that Charminar was built at the centre of the city, to commemorate the eradication of cholera”, a deadly disease which was wide spread at that time.

STORY ABOUT NAG PUNCHAMI
According to Great Epic Mahabharata Parikshit
was the son of Abhimanyu and Uttara. He was also the grandson of Arjuna
Parikshit was cursed by Rishi Shamika’s son Sringin to die of Snakebite in seven days, for disrespecting Rishi Shamika. Parikshit, died after Takshaka king of snakes bit him.
Now, on hearing his father’s death by Takshaka, Parikshit’s son Janamejaya II vowed to kill Takshaka within a week. He starts the Sarpamedha yagna, which forced each and every snake of the entire universe to fall in the havan kund.
However one snake got stuck around Surya’s chariot and because of the force of yagna the chariot was also getting pulled inside the hawankund.
This could have ended up taking the Surya’s chariot in the sacrificial altar and ending the regime of Sun from the universe.
This resulted in plea from all the gods to stop the sacrifice.
When Takshaka arrived then this yagna was stopped from doing so by Astika Muni, as a result of which Takshaka lived. That day was Shukla Paksha Panchami in the month of Shravan and is since celebrated as the festival of Naga Panchami.
