The sun was blazing with heat and the mercury levels touched down to 40°C. But nothing has stopped Hyderabad local guides to be a part of the incredible 36 walk. I would like to thank Taarak who came all the way long from the Hi-tech city (21.1km from the venue) and also all the attendees.
I would like to tag @PaulPavlinovich who is the mastermind behind this adorable walk
We met near the Salarjung Museum ticket counter and then started the walk by introducing each other. First, we discussed the purpose and idea behind this walk as its very important to proceed further. Then I shared the following tips to capture the best photo:
Finally, after waiting for 15 minutes we got a chance to explore Salarjung Museum. It contains three blocks (or sections) namely Central block, Eastern block and Western block. And in turn these blocks are of three floors each; ground, first and second. So there was much more to explore. Take a look at a portrait of Mir Osman Ali Khan (the last Nizam of Hyderabad). He is known for his unique beauty, style and royalty. In the following picture, you can see his photo printed on his walking stick.
Porcelain effigy, double statue and well know Rebecca: In 19th-century, G.R. Benzony (a sculptor) of Italy made this veiled Rebecca which is famous for its immense beauty and style.
Double statue: Now I’m going to show you an amazing art a two side statue describing two personalities; Mephistopheles in the front and Margaretta at back (see in the mirror)
@FazeelUsmani , your recap is very much like an exhibition of the museum, and I really do enjoy seeing and discovering many historical artefacts of India. I especially like the Double Statue of Mephistopheles, Margaretta I think that sculpture is immensely powerful. That museum must be huge!
I appreciate the share and recap. Also thanks for linking a few of the photo tips too, they’re super useful and great to inform fellow attendees especially if they aren’t on Local Guides Connect. Let me tell you, if the temperature hits 40ºC and there are long queues, I’d be the type of person to shy away and probably spend the afternoon underneath a tree or indoors. Kudos to your perseverance and adventure!
Thanks, @Briggs actually there are three spots in Salarjung Museum where visitors found them lucky enough to be there. The first one is the double statue of Mephistopheles and Margaretta, the second one is Rebecca and the final one is the clock; which is in the photo album. Yeah, exactly the sculptor is the dominant and also the museum is enormous. It has three blocks covering an enormous area and consists of a large number of artefacts, portraits, furniture and all things about Indian culture and history.

Thanks, @Julien44 we (Hyderabad Local Guides) all together captured these pictures. Those moments were awesome, apart from these tips every one of us shared their own experience on photography. It was good to try their tips as well.
Fantastic recap. Thank you very much for caring and sharing this with us. It is a massive museum and you are all very good waiting in that heat for so long. It is a beautiful display of artefacts and sculptures.
There is such a huge range of displays. I love the pottery and and it would be lovely to have furnituree like that in your house, it is so superb.
I think the chandeliers, I really enjoy all the different walking sticks. Plus it is an excellent double sculpture of Mephistopheles in the front and Margaretta at the back. The figurines are beautiful as well.
Thank you again for such an extensive recap report with so many fabulous images. The point of the 36 photo walk and displying excellent photographs has obviously paid off for you. I like the elephant tree behind you all too. This has been a really interesting review.
Thanks, @Justine2807 for loving it to the supreme. Yeah, it was too hot at that time but we enjoyed that as well by speaking to each other and deciding the walkthrough such that we receive less traffic. Finally, after waiting for some time we got a chance to explore the Salarjung Museum.
I would be very lucky if I had that kind of furniture in my home. Yeah, there are many unique portraits, artefacts, paintings and much more.
