Osman Ali Khan, the last Nizam of Hyderabad.[4][5]

History

Hyderabad House was built for

Northern Railways.[6]

After Indian independence in 1947, the palace was occasionally used by the

Ministry of External Affairs, and is used for state visits, banquets and meetings for visiting foreign dignitaries.[8][9] It has also been a venue for joint press conferences and major government events.[citation needed

Architecture

Spread over 8.77 acres, and built in the shape of a

symmetrical wings at fifty-five degree angle, is the outstanding feature. It has 36 rooms including a zenana, four of which have now been converted into dining rooms. It is located to the northwest of the India Gate.[citation needed
]

With the exception of the

Viceroy's House, it was the largest and grandest of all palaces built in Delhi by Edwin Lutyens during 1921-1931. The Nizam’s sons disliked the building, finding it too western in style for their taste and was seldom used.[citation needed
