Description

  • The map highlights Golconda. All cities and towns have native Telugu (Indian) names. Many of modern era names such as Hyderabad are not in this or other early maps that were published by European merchants, visitors and cartographers through the late 18th-century. Instead of Hyderabad and other names adopted in 18th and 19th century, these maps show Bagnagar (Bhagyanagar), Colconda and more ancient regional names.
