Was thinking of writing abt Siddipet for a very long time and started on 13 Nov 2010, giving the starting date just to know how long i take in writing about the city which is my birth place and definitely my most favorite place... yeah all my friends know this..
situated around 100 KMs from Hyderabad on the way to Karimnagar, this place is a buzzing town with competitive business people who are very friendly,warm and boisterous...
I was born and brought up here ..many people/families are close to me and I am to them..many of them remember my childhood antics even now when i am at 30 and they keep reminding me ..
have spent a very happy child hood near the lal kaman , then moved to our own house near the old bus stand.. loving grand mother,caring and disciplining father and concerned mother made my childhood..
Siddipet as a town is famous for the business prowess of its people.. for the size of the town, the number of businesses/firms available there is huge..
many rice mills,poultry farms ,hatcheries and retail outlets for all the things you need make the face of this buzzing town.. the reatil outlets here offer best of the prices for any goods you want to buy..
The next important feature of this town is the large number of temples ,devotional activities ..this town has temples for maximum number of gods, more than 5 for lord shiva ( 2 of them are ancient) ,2 for lord venkateshwara, saibaba,Rama, ayyappa, krishna,satyanarayana swamy,vinayaka,vasavi matha,lalita parameshwari devi,parvathi devi ,santhoshimatha and all these temples are visited by large number of people,very well maintained with the funds collected form devotees..
In addition to this great atmosphere, the town got into fame with the Telangana movement providing its complete support to Mr.KCR and presently to Mr.HarishRao who are trying their best to achieve the cause of Telangana state formation.
my favorites in this town are the gupchup bandis which sell gupchup,famous kachori ( u try to eat kachori at narayana's gupchup near kamaan and i swear you will vote it as the best even better than famous gokul chaat of Hyderabad) ..the dhaba hotels in the outskirts are famous for the tasty food they offer at surprisingly unbelievable low prices.. 3-4 people can have a great meal within 500/- .
this amazing place is just 2 hrs away from Hyd and definitely worth visiting for people who stay in Hyd
Famous people from Siddipet : Mr. Kapu Rajaiah ( great painter) , Mr.KCR ( Telangana movement leader and First Chief minister of Telangana) , Mr. Harish Rao ( Telangana movement leader and First minister in Telangana state for many important portfolios - irrigation , mining, Aseembly Affairs and Marketing)
Directions : Leave Hyderabad towards Shamirpet/Karimnagar ..drive straight for 2 hrs you will be in the heart of this town.
Places to visit: Subhash Road,Kaman road for shopping,komati cheruvu for sight seeing,kotilingala temple ,sharabheshwara temple for devotion and Dhabhas for sumptuous food.

What a great 2 years for siddipet under the dynamic leadership of Mr.Harish Rao ( Harishnna for many in siddipet) and great support by Mr.KCR
- Raithu bazaar looks like a upmarket commercial complex
- 2 KM walking track near the komati cheruvu : hundreds of people use this every day for walking
- open gyms at 4 places
- corporate level maternity hospital , dalysis centre
- medical college , large increase of beds in govt hospital
couple of friends from abroad visited during sankranti and during our conversation it came out - Very happy that Telangana is a reality and in able hands. only thing Siddipet will not get is a "beach " :)
hats off to the strong and able leadership for thinking and executing the needs of common people
