History


The Purani Haveli was designed to be the home of Mir Momen, the Prime Minister of Mohammed Quli Qutub Shah, the ruler of Hyderabad in the 16th century. Purani Haveli, a large stately palace acquired by Nizams throughout the 18th century, was restored by the second Nizam for his son Sikandar Jah in 1777. Sikandar Jah, on the other hand, relocated to the Khilwat complex at Chowmahalla Palace. The palace was subsequently known as the Purani Haveli and remained out of the limelight until Mir Mehboob Ali Khan, the sixth Nizam of Hyderabad, made it his official house and spent the majority of his life here in the 19th century.
