Nizamabad is a city and district located in the state of Andhra Pradesh. It is also the commercial marketing centre of Andhra Pradesh and was known by the name of Induru, earlier. In the year 1905 it was renamed Nizamabad after the Nizam of Hyderabad at that time, Asaf Jah VI.
The Rashtrakutas ruled Nizamabad in the ancient times and later there was a railway line constructed here that connected Hyderabad and Mumbai with Nizamabad as the main station. The British constructed this railway line in 1905. Some of the main routes that connect different cities are located here like the National Highway 7 that connects Kanyakumari and Varanasi.
Some of the popular tourist attractions here include the Nizam Sagar Dam that is constructed on the river Manjira and the ancient reservoir of Ali Sagar, which was built during the tenure of the Nizam.

This ancient temple is the site of one of the most celebrated festivals, Rathasaptami.
The population of Nizamabad consists of Muslims as well but Hindus dominate the population mix. One of the most important places for the Muslim community includes the Bada Pahad Dargah, which is also an attraction. The mausoleum of Syed Sadullah Hussaini lies between the hills of Varni and Chandur.

Sightseeing in Nizamabad includes natural preserves, lakes, dams and religious constructs. The reservoir or artificial lake of Alisagar is about 13 km from Nizamabad Town. Boating facilities have also been introduced in the lake for the visitors, along with a garden. Developed on the original Ram Mandir, the Nizamabad Fort was constructed by Raghunath Das, the same person who created the water tank for Nizamabad Town. Some rare and endangered species of deer can be found in the Alisagar Deer Park.
Nizamsagar is a very large reservoir that is located across River Manjira, a tributary of the Godavari river. Most of the accommodation facilities of the region are located in proximity to these attractions. Located about 7 km away from the region of Nizamabad, is the Ashoksagar Lake, which used to be covered with a dense forest.
The ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, which is about 500 years old, is a major attraction located in Kanteshwar Town. The forest region of Mallaram is located about 7 km from the region of Nizamabad and is a popular eco-tourism spot. An eco-tourism hut is also built within the forest region that offers seating facilities to visitors. The Nizamabad Fort in the same region, was constructed by the Rashtrakutas as one of the major attractions at that time. Fort was under the influence of Asaf Jahis for a good time and the same is visible in form of ancient scriptures and designs present on the walls and the doors of the fort.
The popular temple of Dichipalli Ramalayam, is located at a distance of about 15 km from the central region of Nizamabad, adjacent to the Hyderabad-Nizamabad Highway. The main deity of this temple is Lord Rama and the entire temple has been constructed from white and black basalt stone.
Popular for the Hanuman Temple, the region of Sarangpur is about 8 km from Nizamabad. It was saint Samartha Ramadas, the guru of Chhatrapati Shivaji, that laid the foundation stone for the temple. Opened in the year 2001, the Archeological Museum present here, houses some rare collections representing the development of civilization over the ages.
Bada Pahad Dargah is a popular religious place, especially for Muslims. A mausoleum dedicated to Saint Syed Sadullah Hussaini, located in between the hills of Varni and Chandur is also another popular attraction.
