The Telangana government may spare some time and money to restore the glory of Nizamia’s observatory.

Each morning I walk in the midst of this magnificent structure, wondering what Hyderabad and Ameerpet looked like those days of no electricity and only horse driven buggies. Shouldn’t the Telengana government do something worthwhile in restoring our old glory. A brief history of the surroundings can be installed to educate the walkers who come each morning. The government has spent so much money building a fortress like wall at the camp office with round the clock security, while the brain child of our Nizams lay in shambles. Jago Hindustan….!!

In reply to The Blueberry Trails. I think Nizamia observatory is a private property and not public.

Nice article. This observatory should be restored for public to visit, shouldn’t it?

Reminds me of my schooldays. This observatory is behind my school Vidyaniketan High school (1980-89).
We used to play cricket and roam around these obesrvatory after school. Thank you for the pics, sorry state of affairs in India shows the plight of such important sites.
Hyd is loosing its charm :(

Hello Anuradha,

Thanks a ton for all this information and especially the pictures. It takes me a trip down to nostalgia lane of my School days from 1986 to 1994. Our school "Vidyodaya High School" was just outside this observatory campus. Back then the place use to be deserted and a lot of stories of the place being haunted use to do rounds in our school. We guys use to challenge each other to enter the observatory and climb the stairs up. Once bunch of us did take up the challenge and climbed upto 1st floor and were proceeding further up when one of the guy whispered "I saw something moving there". The next moment we all started screaming "run ... run" and ran all the way out upto the main road (distance of about 500 yards) and believe me or not that was the best sprint we ever did!! All the pix posted by you really takes me back to those good old days.

Thanks a lot!!!
