What draws a traveller to Telangana? Is it the layered history of its forts, the stillness of its lakes, the pull of its temples or the rhythm of its festivals? According to the Telangana chapter of NITI Aayog’s ‘Divya Bharat: A Window to the Soul of India’ report, the answer lies in all of these, presenting the State as a destination catering to a wide spectrum of travellers.
