    The palace was constructed by Kamal Khan, and sold toĀ NizamĀ once he expressed his desire for the palace. The young Nizam moved in when he was only 13. After his accession to the throne in 1911, he continued to stay at the palace and did not move toĀ Chowmahalla PalaceĀ where his father lived. Initially, Kamal Khan constructed this palace for his personnel residence: Thus the palace main gate, passerby corridors, windows and doors were engraved with the sign of "K K". Later when Nizam purchased this palace, as it was aĀ royalĀ residenceĀ now, the young Nizam felt against his pride to have the abbreviations of otherĀ nawabs; he passed aĀ fermanĀ and changed the abbreviation "K K" to "King Kothi," meaningĀ king'sĀ mansion. Thus the nameĀ King KothiĀ came into existence.

    King Kothi Palace or Nazri Bagh Palace is a royal palace in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. It was the palace where the erstwhile ruler of Hyderabad State, Mir Osman Ali Khan lived. The palace was constructed by Kamal Khan, and sold to Nizam once he expressed his desire for the palace. The young Nizam moved in when he was only 13. After his accession to the throne in 1911, he continued to stay at the palace and did not move to Chowmahalla Palace where his father lived. Initially, Kamal Khan constructed this palace for his personal residence: Thus, the main gate, passerby corridors, windows and doors were engraved with the sign of "KK". Later when Nizam purchased this palace, the young Nizam felt against his pride to have the abbreviations of other nawabs; he passed a firman and changed the abbreviation "KK" to "King Kothi," meaning king's mansion. Thus the name King Kothi came into existence. In the sprawling palace, various kinds of expensive items were stored in steel trunks, fastened with English-made padlocks. The palace has three main buildings, divided into two groups. It also has a huge library used by the last Nizam. The eastern half, now occupied by a state government hospital, was used by the Nizam for official and ceremonial purposes. The western half, which is now walled, has the main residential buildings known as Nazri Bagh or Mubarak Mansion and still belongs to the Nizamā€™s private estate. The main entrance to Nazri Bagh always had a curtain draped across it, so it has come to be known as the purdah gate. When Nizam went out of the palace, the purdah was lifted to indicate the king was not home. The gate was guarded by Maisaram Regiment, police and Sarf-e-Khas Army bearing lances. The Nizam lived here until his death in 1967.

    King Kothi Palace, also known as Nazri Bagh Palace, is a historic building located in the heart of Hyderabad, Telangana. It was built in the early 1900s during the reign of the seventh Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali Khan, and served as the residence of Princess Durru Shehvar, his daughter. The palace is an architectural masterpiece, showcasing a blend of Indian and European styles. The design is a perfect example of the Indo-Saracenic style, with arches, minarets, and domes that reflect the traditional Indian architecture. The palace is surrounded by lush green gardens, which add to the charm of the place. One of the most striking features of King Kothi Palace is its magnificent durbar hall. The hall is decorated with intricate carvings, chandeliers, and a huge glass ceiling that allows natural light to flood in, making the hall look even more grand and regal. The walls are adorned with portraits of the Nizams and their family members, showcasing the royal legacy of Hyderabad. The palace has now been converted into a hospital, which is a unique blend of modern healthcare facilities and historic architecture. The hospital has a team of highly qualified doctors and staff who provide excellent medical care to their patients. The architecture of the palace has been carefully preserved, with the hospital being built around it, making it a truly unique healthcare facility. The palace is located in the heart of the city and is easily accessible by road. The entrance to the palace is grand and imposing, reflecting the regal heritage of Hyderabad. The palace is also surrounded by many other historical landmarks, making it an ideal location for tourists to explore the rich culture and heritage of the city. In conclusion, King Kothi Palace is a stunning architectural masterpiece that reflects the rich cultural and historical heritage of Hyderabad. Its magnificent durbar hall, intricate carvings, and lush green gardens make it a must-visit destination for anyone visiting the city. The fact that it has been converted into a modern healthcare facility, while preserving its historic architecture, is a testament to the progressive and forward-thinking nature of the people of Hyderabad.

    It is a nice palace now not opened to public it is only for family of the Nizam nobody is allowed inside. The entrance gate was named as parda gate It was my previlege to meet couple of Nizam's family members may be a decade back with the acquaintance of king Nizam,there were tunnels near the palace having space for two horses to pass thru mashals were used for illuminating the tunnels Tunnels crisscrossed towards Nampally Golconda n Charminar etc the marks of mashals were visible on sidewalls of passage The big door near the palace openes down in the tunnels with beautiful steps to touch down effortlessly to the tunnels to takes us back down the memory Lane with horses hoofs thundering thru tunnels

    Not even a place to visit, it's just a broken and demolished monument on the roadside and nobody even knows that it's an ancient palace because it looks like an abandoned house with lots of garbage around.

    King Kothi Palace or Nazri Bagh Palace is a royal palace in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. It was the palace where the erstwhile ruler of Hyderabad State, Sir Mir Osman Ali Khan, The Seventh Nizam, lived. it was a palace bought by his father Mahboob Ali Pasha, who had a penchant for buying ostentatious homes. Initially, this grand palace was owned by a noble, Kamal Khan who had his initials 'KK' imprinted on all the furniture, doors, crockery, windows and even on the iron grilles of the palace. Mahboob Ali Pasha was keen to possess the palace but the bold engravings of the initials made him a little wary. To his relief, a courtier came up with an excellent solution. He suggested that since a house in Urdu is called "Kothi" and since it would be the King's Palace, it could be renamed as "King Kothi" justifying the initials. The Nizam was pleased and went ahead and bought the palace. Thus the name King Kothi came into existence.

    King Kothi (KK) meaning king's mansion. Initially, Kamal Khan constructed this palace for his personal residence and later sold to Nizam. It was the palace where the erstwhile ruler of Hyderabad State, Mir Osman Ali Khan lived. It also has a huge library used by the last Nizam. Of the 3 principal buildings of this palace, only the main building (now housing a hospital) and the Mubarak Mansion (Nazri Bagh) accommodating the offices of the Nizamā€™s private estates (Sarf E Khas) survive. The Nizam lived here until his death in 1967.

    I was expecting to see the palace of the last Nizam, but visiters are not allowed. I donā€™t know why Google Maps kept its opening and closing timing. It is really bitter to see one past beauyiful palace has become a locked place surrounded by people pissing on its wall. Hope it can be a public museum or something like that. It would be not easy, but far better than now.
