Hyderabad’s annual Numaish exhibition is particularly appealing to women, especially during the designated Ladies’ Day, which has become a cherished tradition since its inception in 1940 by the last Nizam of Hyderabad.

This special day allows only women and boys under ten years of age to enter, creating a safe and welcoming environment for female shoppers to explore a diverse range of stalls featuring clothing, handicrafts, and more.

Hyderabad SHE Teams are always monitoring public spaces to prevent harassment of women. They urge citizens to remain vigilant and report any incidents through the Dial 100 service, social media or by reaching out to the nearest SHE Teams office.
