1941 Pigeon Tower Near Koti Stands As Rare Heritage Marvel
1941 Pigeon Tower | Hyderabad, August 24: The 1941 Pigeon Tower near Koti remains an architectural gem and a reminder of Hyderabad’s rich cultural heritage.
This rare structure, built in the Nizam era, once served as a nesting site for hundreds of pigeons.
Its unique design and purpose make it a significant part of the city’s history.
A marble plaque in Urdu still survives on the tower. Its translated warning reads: “Anyone who tries to pick up pigeons, chicks, or eggs from Hashmatgunj will be acted upon by police,” signed by Rahmat Yar Jung, then Kotwal (Police Commissioner).
Experts say the tower reflects Hyderabad’s tradition of protecting birds and promoting harmony with nature.
Heritage activists have urged the government to preserve it as a historical site.
The area around Koti still attracts visitors interested in the city’s past.
However, the tower needs urgent conservation to maintain its architectural beauty and historical significance.
