There is 2500 million years old rock in Hyderabad, identity is in the name of ‘Patthar Dil’, Hub has become a tour of tourism

Hyderabad. Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana, is famous worldwide for its high -tech infrastructure, rapid development and its identity as a global IT hub. But the beauty of this city is not only limited to its tall buildings and shining corporate towers, but an ancient history hidden in its womb is also its identity. A prized part of this history is “stone heart”, which is not only scientifically important, but also has emotional and cultural significance.

This rock is present in the campus of Maulana Azad National Urdu University located in Gachibovali region of Hyderabad. According to the Indian National Trust for Art and Culture Heritage (Intach) Hyderabad branch, this rock is 2500 million years old. That is, when the initial form of life was not developed on earth, then this rock existed. This rock is named “stone heart”, and its naming is not only scientific, but also for emotional reasons.

Why is it called ‘stone heart’?

The design of this rock protected by NTACH is like a human heart. When viewed from a distance, it appears to be like the shape of a natural heart. Dr. Ehsan Khan, who is an expert associated with the university, states that this diligent rock has become a center of attraction not only for geologists, but also for loving couples and romantic tourists. Its unique design and historicity makes it ‘natural love symbol’. Given the importance of this rock, Maulana Azad National Urdu University was also honored by the Heritage Department in 2017 to preserve it. Now it has become a protected heritage and cannot harm it. Its regular care and protection work is done by the Heritage Institution.
