The Street leading from Charminar to the square on the west called the Chowk, is known as Lad Bazar. It is a shopping centre of the old city specialising in bridaiware.

Here you find the famous glass bangles of 1-lyderabad tempting you with their beauty and dazzling colours.

Midway to the Chowk on the left, you will marvel at the splendid pink gates and semi-circular outer walls of the Nizam’s Jillukhana (Parade Grounds) built in the French-Islamic style during the reign of Nizam VI.

The troops were quartered here and the large gateway facilitated the easy movement of elephants.
