Ok first the minus. It is definitely a struggle to reach the place through narrow bylanes of the bazaar but then if you visit Hyderabad, you have to get your pic informs of this amazing piece of Islamic architecture. ❤️ The imposing monument stands regally tall amidst the colorful bangle shops in the labyrinthine Laad Bazar of the old city and presents a beautiful glittering sight after nightfall (7pm-9pm).
