"RANGAREDDY"



Great-RANGAREDDY
 
A thousand Gods and the Micro chip meet here in Rangareddy District. Located in the rocky Deccan landscape in Central India, adjacent to the capital of Andhra Pradesh, the Rangareddy District is spread over 7000 sq.km, and has been the meeting ground for various civilizations and religions through the ages. And today it is the fastest growing District in the State, perhaps in the Country. Woven into its landscape are the most ancient and the most modern of structures - some made by myth and mystery and the others the handiwork of man. Drenched in the aura of the mythical and the mystical are the places like Keesaragutta, Maheshwaram and Anantagiri in the RR District. The Shiva temples in the area belong to great antiquity and even the beautiful lakes that dot the District have about them a hundred legends of yore. In utter contrast to the antiquity and mystery are the giant modern structures built by man. The Hi-tech City with its conglomerate of global IT giants like the IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Motorola etc.,the IIIT, the upcoming Knowledge Park, the National Institute of Fashion Technology, the crafts village Shilparamam, all show case man's ingenuity and skill.
