01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Hyderabad (India)—6,993,262, Asia/Kolkata, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.
Wikidata's localized description: capital of Telangana, India.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Hyderabad (India) is GeoNames ID 1269843. Its recorded administrative path is Hyderabad → Telangana → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Hyderabad appears on 2 separate GeoNames rows in this atlas, so the qualifier “India” and numeric ID prevent those places from being merged. The city row itself was updated 2025-08-05; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 1269843, the coordinate pair 17.3841 / 78.4564, country rank 4 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1252948 at 137.637 km bind Hyderabad (India) to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Hyderabad (India)'s reference point is 17.3841° north and 78.4564° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Hyderabad (India)'s row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Hyderabad (India)'s point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Hyderabad (India)'s time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Hyderabad (India), so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
