Description
Hazrat Nuruddin Shah Qadiri, (d. 1878), a native of Ambala, Punjab, arrived in Hyderabad in the reign of Nasiruddawlah (1829-57), and successive Nizams became his devotees. Afzaluddawlah granted him a jagir. His dargah located on the road from Nampally to Darussalam is built on a marble platform. The arched Naubat Khanah, with turrets and crenellations is impressive.
