Chowmahalla Palace

bodhisattva mukhopadhyay
Today the 2nd December 2007 we made a visit to Chawmohalla Palace near Charminar in Old Hyderabad. It is in a small by lane near the over crowded Charminar and my friend Rana faced a tedious task to negotiate traffic . We reached at 4.00 pm and were spellbound by the palace and artifacts kept there. The fountain, images of Princes NILOUFER (Princess Niloufer Khanum Sultana) and weapons of yester years were fascinating. We entered the durbar hall which had magnificent chandeliers .The clothes and furniture’s used by the Nababs made us speechless. When any one visits Hyderabad this is a place one must visit.
