Hussaini Alam Kaman

Location

It is located near the Barah Galli crossroads at Hussaini Alam on the Charminar road, towards the lane leading to the Hussaini Alam Ashurkhana.

Description

Built in the early 20th century, during the reign of Nizam VII Mir Osman Ali Khan, The Hussaini Alam Kaman was built as a ceremonial gateway over the road leading to the Hussaini Alam Aashurkhana which was a central point of pilgrimage during the now-discontinued Langar Procession.

Existing Condition

The external plaster has flaked off in portions of the arch, exposing the random rubble stone masonry. Portions of the rectangular crenellations of the parapet are now missing.
