I am looking forward to chatting with former ambassador @NavtejSarna and speaking at the beautiful sundar nursery venue restored by @AKF_Global @ASuitableAgency @NandaRatish #ThereIsAGhostInMyRoom @HarperCollinsIN @TeamworkArts
















As part of our ongoing Restored Glory series, we bring you another gem of Hyderabad’s heritage — the Saidani Ma Tomb, a son’s devotion immortalised in stone. Commissioned by Nawab Abdul Haq Diler Jung in memory of his mother, Saidani Ma — a woman deeply respected in the Nizam’s court — this monument near Tank Bund beautifully blends love, history, and architecture. With its intricate stucco, jali screens, and lime plaster detailing, the tomb reflects Hyderabad’s rich Indo-Islamic heritage. Conserved through the joint efforts of HMDA, Department of Heritage, and Aga Khan Trust for Culture, it continues to inspire generations. #SaidaniMaTomb #RestoredGlory #HyderabadHeritage #HMDA #HeritageRevival #RestoredGlorySeries
