About
The palace's own website describes Chowmahalla as one of the greatest legacies of the Nizams. It says construction started around 1751, in the reign of Nawab Salabath Jung, and that successive Nizams expanded and renovated the palaces.
The complex once covered 45 acres; the operator says it is now a compact 12 acres. It includes the Khilwat Mubarak, the four palaces of the Chau Mahal complex (Afzal, Aftab, Mehtab and Tahniyat Mahal), a clock tower and other buildings.
The Khilwat Mubarak, the palace's darbar hall, was commissioned by the Seventh Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Khan, in 1912 and completed in 1916. Its centrepiece is a marble throne, the Takht-i-Nishan.
