About Begumpet
What are the main landmarks in Begumpet?
Begumpet keeps several marks of the Nizam's Hyderabad. The Nizamia observatory carried out its star surveys from here, and the palaces of Vikhar Manzil and Chiraan Fort Palace stand from the same era of the court. Jalavihar adds a lighter note.
The water park draws families to the district beside the older stone of the palaces and the observatory dome.
What is the history of Begumpet?
Begumpet grew under the Nizams of Hyderabad. Its houses gathered around the court estates, and the Nizamia observatory rose here to record the heavens for the state of Telangāna long before the modern city reached this ground. The palaces came with the nobility.
Vikhar Manzil and Chiraan Fort Palace were built as residences of that order, and the district kept their names as Hyderabad spread outward around them.
