The United States government announced financial support worth $250,000 for conserving and restoring six of the Paigah tombs located at Santoshnagar in Hyderabad.
These tombs were built in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Also known as Maqhbara Shams al-Umara, these tombs belong to the family of Paigah that served the Nizam of Hyderabad.
These tombs are made of lime and mortar and marble and are considered one of the city’s major tourist spots.
Paigah is a Persian language word that means ‘footstool’ or the Right-hand man.
Paigahs were known to be wealthier than the average Maharaja of the country at that time and had privileges, including maintaining their court, palaces and private armies.
