Named after her anyway, Sardar Mahal has had quite the journey. In 1965, it was taken over by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation due to-you guessed it-outstanding property taxes. Even royalty has to pay their dues, it seems!
Declared as a heritage building by the Heritage Conservation Committee and INTACH, this palace is like a grand old book that’s getting a fresh cover. It's undergoing restoration and renovation and will soon become a Cultural Center, thanks to Kalakriti India. So, before long, this place will be bustling with art, culture, and history enthusiasts like yourself!
Maybe Sardar Begum had foresight-we're glad she didn’t like staying here, or we might not be able to enjoy its splendor today!
