Description
The home of poet, socialite and politician Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949) and her less famous husband Dr Govindrajulu Naidu. Located on Nampally Station Road, this charming mansion of arcaded verandah is named after Sarojini Naidu’s collection of poems called Golden Threshold published in 1905, which may also be the year of its building. Seventy years after that event, the mansion housed an office of the Central University of Hyderabad in 1975.
