Why Manikonda homes work so well with rugs and carpet
Manikonda grew up fast on the back of the IT corridor. It sits between the older city and the Financial District, with Gachibowli and HITEC City a short drive away and Raidurg metro a few kilometres off. That means a lot of the housing stock here is new or nearly new: tall apartment towers with large glazed living rooms, plus a layer of independent homes in the quieter, more established pockets. New construction almost always lands on hard flooring, and hard flooring is wonderful for cleaning and terrible for acoustics, warmth and comfort. A handsome rug or a fitted carpet is the single quickest way to fix all three.
For the apartment towers around Lanco Hills and Alkapur
High-rise living here comes with its own quirks. Lanco Hills alone runs to a dozen towers of 30-plus floors, so sound travels on bare tile, open-plan living-dining areas feel uninterrupted, and the breeze off Manikonda Cheruvu, the lake that flanks the township and acts as a natural wind corridor, keeps interiors cooler than you might expect. A large hand-knotted wool rug under the sofa anchors the seating zone, cuts the echo, and gives bare feet somewhere warm to land on a cool morning. In open-plan flats we often suggest using two rugs to visually separate the living and dining halves, sized so the front legs of your furniture sit on the rug. Lighter Kashmiri silk-blend pieces suit the bright, glass-heavy rooms these towers are known for, because they catch and shift the light through the day.
For independent houses near OU Colony and Khajaguda
The older independent homes around OU Colony, Puppalaguda and the lanes toward Khajaguda and its heritage rock formations tend to have more defined rooms, longer corridors and dedicated bedrooms and pooja spaces. These suit a layered approach: a statement Persian or Iranian rug in the formal living room, runners down passages, smaller pieces beside beds, and a dedicated prayer rug for the pooja or namaz corner. For bedrooms and home offices, where many Manikonda residents now work remotely for nearby tech firms, soft wall-to-wall carpet adds genuine warmth and quiet underfoot.
What Ellora Carpets offers Manikonda

- Custom hand-knotted rugs made to your exact dimensions, colours and motifs, so an awkward L-shaped living area or an extra-long passage is covered properly.
- Free measure and professional fitting, plus pan-India and worldwide delivery for families relocating in or out of the area.
Free measure and fitting, the easy way
Sofa-and-tile guesswork is how people end up with a rug that is too small and looks lost in the room. Our team will come out to your Manikonda flat or house, measure the actual floor, and talk through proportions, traffic flow and how each room is really used before you commit. For wall-to-wall work we handle the underlay, fitting and finishing so the job is done cleanly. Because so much of Manikonda is multi-storey gated property, just let us know the tower, block and any society access or lift-booking requirements when you arrange a visit, and we will plan around them.
Visit our showroom from Manikonda
Our showroom is centrally located at A Battery Line, Masab Tank Road, Vijaynagar Colony, an easy run in from Manikonda via the Shaikpet and Mehdipatnam side. It is a sensible halfway point if you are heading into the older city. Come and walk across the rugs, feel the difference between a tight wool weave and a silk pile, and see full pieces unrolled rather than judging from a screen. After sixty years in Hyderabad, we would rather you choose something you will love for decades than rush a purchase. Bring photos and measurements of your Manikonda rooms and we will help you get it right.
