History Of Numaish:

Numaish was started in 1938 by a group of graduates of Osmania University with just 50 stalls to showcase local products. The first Numaish was inaugurated by the Last Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali Khan at the Public Gardens and it lasted for 10 days. After that, it continued for 15 days, the next year. Slowly, it extended to a month. The original name was changed to All India Industrial Exhibition and was renamed to its original name, the Numaish in 2009.

Numaish didn't take place on two occasions. First is during 1947-48, on account of the disturbances leading to the merger of Hyderabad State in the Indian Union, and in 2020, Numaish didn't happen due to coronavirus pandemic.

One can either take a bus or a metro to reach the Exhibition Grounds, Nampally, Hyderabad.
