Falaknuma Palace history

The Falaknuma Palace is located in Hyderabad, Telangana, which originally belonged to the Paigah family of Hyderabad. However, it was later owned by the Nizam of the city. The grand palace is on a hillock and covers almost a 32-acre of land area in Falaknuma, and is also only five kilometres away from Charminar.

The monumental palace was built by Nawab Sir Viqar-ul-Umra, the former Prime Minister of Hyderabad and the brother-in-law and uncle of the sixth Nizam. Falak-Numa is an Urdu word, which means 'Like the Sky' or 'Mirror of Sky' in English. The luxurious 5-star property is a blend of Indian and colonial designs.
