Hyderabad’s 430-year-old Badshahi Ashoorkhana to be restored
Hyderabad, Dec 30 (Maxim News): Special Chief Secretary to Municipal Administration and Urban Development announced the restoration of centuries-old Qutb shahi Badshahi Ashoorkhana.
Arvind Kumar inspected Badshahi Ashoor Khana and naqar, Niyar, and Abdar Khana – a holy precinct built in 1594 by Md. Quli Qutb Shah. The Quli Qutb Shah Urban Development Authority and Aga Khan Trust for culture to take up adaptive intervention, prevent further decay, restore lime plaster and consolidate structures. Arvind Kumar tweeted while tagging minister K.Tarak Rama Rao and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi. He emphasized strengthening the roofing and flooring of the Ashoorkhana. The Naqar Khana, Abdar Khana, and Niyaz Khana have suffered intense damage, however, the main hall of the Badshahi Ashurkhana remains intact. Walls decked up with multi-colored tiles and the dominant theme of flaming Alams are the cynosure of all eyes.
The walls of this historic structure were damaged during the floods of 1908 and were temporarily repainted in a similar design. Arvind Kumar along with the Archeological department officers also visited the historic monument Khursheed Jah Dewdi in Hussaini Alam and ensured that this also would be restored.
Earlier, in the month of May, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water supply and Sewerage Board broke the outer wall of the Ashoorkhana. The Badshahi Ashoorkhana’s administrators have alleged that the boundary wall and the monument are in fact subject matter to a Court ruling, which has reportedly been flouted. The Ashoorkhana is a protected heritage site and is the second old monument of Hyderabad, as it was built immediately after the Charminar. (Maxim News)
