Purani Haveli

Purani Haveli

:"For the 1989 Hindi horror film please see Purani Haveli (film)"

Purani Haveli in Hyderabad, India, was the official residence of the Nizam. It was also known as "Haveli Khadeem", which means old mansion, was constructed for Sikander Jah, Asaf Jah III (1803-1829) by his father Ali Khan Bahadur, Asaf Jah II.

The Haveli is "U" shaped in plan, with two oblong wings running parallel to each other and the residential palace located perpendicularly in the middle. The main building resembles 18th-century European palaces. A unique feature of this palace is the world's longest wardrode, built in two levels with a hand-cranked wooden lift(elevator) in place. This occupies the entire length of one wing of the palace.

The palace also houses the Nizam's museum, which is dedicated to the last Nizam of Hyderabad state.
