With the opening of the majestic and splendid Chowmahalla palace of the Nizam of Hyderabad, comprising five beautiful structures in different architectural styles, the public will finally witness the heritage of Asif Jahi dynasty in its full glory.
Chowmahalla Palace was the seat of the Asaf Jahi dynasty and was the official residence of the Nizam. In Urdu, Chow means four and Mahalat means palaces, hence the name Chowmahallat. All ceremonial functions including the accession of the Nizams and receptions for dignitaries were held at this palace.
