Inside the Begumpet Mosque, you can feel the rich, plush carpeting under your feet. High on the wall, you can see inscriptions in Turkish that, Faiz Khan says, are the only one-of-their-kind in India. The overhead dome is octagonal and the shape is repeated in the columns. The boundary walls of the courtyard insulate the faithful from the noise and bustle from outside.

Shahi Masjid is located inside the Public Gardens, National Highway 9, Red Hills, Hyderabad. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Shahi Masjid is a majestic mosque and popular pilgrimage center located inside the Public Gardens, one of oldest gardens in Hyderabad. The last Nizam used to come here with his family members on Fridays and during special festivals like Eid to offer prayers, thus giving the mosque its name, Shahi Masjid or Royal Mosque. Truly depicting the Shahi architecture which is characterized by arches, domes, columns and minarets, this mosque can accommodate up to 102 worshippers at one time. This mosque has two Niyaz Khanas or kitchens built on either side, constructed to feed the visiting pilgrims and poor. To understand the beauty of how this mosque used to be, one can visit the Nizam Museum at Purani Haveli where a beautiful model of Shahi Masjid is displayed. As this mosque lies within the public gardens one can also visit the other prestigious institutions situated here or spend time admiring the beautiful landscaping of surrounding lawns and pathways.

HistoryEdit

The first Qutb Shahi mosque of Hyderabad is the Masjid Safa at Golconda, that was built in 1846 during the Nizam rule. Built in 1518 AD, this is 75 years older than the Charminar. The mosque is a well-preserved structure and is very much in use. But little known to outsiders. The benedictory verse fixed in the prayer niche of the mosque expressed a hope of the founder of the kingdom Sultan Quli Qutbul Mulk, that his descendants would be honourable. In this mosque, 25 years after its erection Sultan Quli was assassinated by Mir Mahmud Hamadani, Qiladar of Golconda at the instigation of the heir apparent Yar Quli Jamshid.Jamshid, the second king built for himself a very beautifully proportioned tomb, one of the most beautiful structures in the whole Qutb Shahi tombs complex.
