HELLO!

HELLO! This is my first post and what better way to start it, than with my best shots from one of the most beautiful palaces in hyderabad, The Chawmahallah palace :)
It was the seat of The asif Jahi Dynasty and the resident of Mir Osman Ali Khan , The VII Nizam of Hyderabad and The Richest man in the history of the world.


The Khilwat Palace.. Coronation of Prince Mukarram Jah took place here.




This is the two hundred year old clock tower,The Khilwat Clock Tower, at the Chowmahalla palace. It is functional even today!






A display of fine craftsmanship. The main hall housed huge chandeliers and the Masnath(throne) of the king is placed here. This hall served more like Diwan-e-Aam.




The beautiful pond at the entrance to the palace. Apart from the beautification purposes, it also cooled the surrounding area in hot weather.
