The Charminar is glowing through the festive week as the Old City's markets ride the Ganesh Chaturthi and Visarjan rush, drawing evening crowds to the illuminated monument and its bustling lanes.

Traders around Laad Bazaar report brisk business in bangles, pearls and festive wear, while food stalls near the monument stay packed well past dusk.

With the Visarjan procession passing through the Old City on September 25, shopkeepers are expecting one of the busiest days of the season before the celebrations wind down.
