The streets were very crowded; it is a popular market area. This is a view from the top.
It is a Muslim district.. Many women with burqas, walking, on motorcycles, and in the 3-wheeler rickshaws.
We shopped on the busy streets, buying bangles and just trying to absorb everything for sale. Bala bought some wood apples, a fruit she uses to make pickles. It is a favorite of elephants, too.
We stopped for lunch at a Muslim restaurant, ordering biryani, a Hyderabad specialty. Since it is Muslim, beef was available. We bought one beef biryani, the first time we've eaten beef in India. (Hindus don't eat beef). The other biryanis were chicken and a veg one.
$4 for more than we could eat. 
We stopped on the way home to pick up appetizers for dinner...spicy lamb brains and mutton tandoori.
Spicy lamb brains and mutton tandoori are not apps you will find in Minnesota often. Although I have had lamb brains once here. If you have developed a taste for them, we will go out for them when you get back.
