Dt.25.03.2017. Musi Riverfront Development Corporation will act as a nodal agency for
preparation and execution of comprehensive plan for abatement of pollution of Musi River
and Riverfront Development.
With the evolving scenario of city’s expansion up to Outer Ring Road and beyond, there is
greater need to look in to conservation and Riverfront environment from outlets of
Himayat Sagar & Osman Sagar to Gowrelli.
FESTIVALS AND CULTUREHyderabad is a veritable melting pot of cultures, ethnicity, religion and nothing makes
this more evident than the many festivals and celebrations that are being celebrated in
Hyderabad annually.
The millions of Hyderabadi’s usually greet each festivity with fervor regardless of ethnicity,
caste or religion. The festivals celebrated can have their roots in religion although there
are some that are decidedly modern, such as music festivals that are celebrated in order
to raise cultural awareness and creativity among the people.
These festivals are enjoyed not just by the Hyderabadi’s but by tourists as well, and are
often reminiscent of the major festivals around the world.

“See how the speckled sky burns like a pigeon’s throat,
Jeweled with embers of opal and peridote.
See the white river that flashes and scintillates,
Curved like a tusk from the mouth of the city-gates…”

Poem on MUSI by Sarojini Naidu

Established around 400 years ago along the southern banks of the Musi, Hyderabad has
been influenced by various religious, historical and political, making it a dynamic and
culturally diverse metropolis with a rich history. Hyderabad toady is the most preferred
destination for new industries especially in IT sector, Pharmaceuticals & Aerospace
among others and tourism.

impact and feel good factor apart from it being a connector in the broadest sense, with
shared open spaces, environmental resources, infrastructure and cultural landmarks for all
Hyderabadis !

Evolution of the City…
AGRICULTURE & IRRIGATION
During dry season Musi’s
fertile river bed was used
for agriculture and
acted as hub for
seasonal crop
production
TANKS AND CANALS
Water bodies were
constructed across the
city which drew water
from Musi. These water
bodies acted as water
storage reservoirs for
irrigation, drinking and
ground water recharge.
And were an inalienable
part of the urban
ecology of the city
IMPORTANT BUILDINGSThere are as many as 35
structures of heritage
relevance along the
riverfront between Purana
pul stretch to Chaderghat
bridge. These included
important buildings such as
museums and institutions.
TRADE
The Purana Pul (1578 AD)
bridge was the first
bridge built during Qutab
Shahi period. The bridge
since the 19th century has
been used as ground for
trading and currently
serves as space for
hawker’s market
RECREATIONAL PLACES
Musi river had planned
recreational places such
as gardens and orchards
along its edges in the
city, particularly near the
Purana Pul area
SEWAGE AND TRASH
The existing situation
along the edges is
summed up by
unplanned
development, pollution
from the untreated
sewage water coming
from the city incongruous
to its surroundings,
disturbed habitats,
depletion of ecological
resources, impermeable
river edges
