Mahboob Chowk Market

The  Chowk ki Masjid was constructed in 1812 and the clock tower, garden and market in the 1890s. In 1898, a description of the Nizam’s Dominions states that, “Beyond the lane leading to the Nizam’s palace, to the west, is the chauk. Here are the cloth bazaar, a handsome row of arched buildings; and the arms bazaar, where weapons of all kinds and most quaint designs may be purchased, some of them being very old. These bazars face a pretty garden containing fountains and cisterns and a lofty clock tower, which together with the cloth bazaar, the city owes to Sir Salar Jung the Great. To the north of the square is a fine musjid erected by Khaja Abdulla Khan, which adds greatly to the appearance of the chauk.” 

Apart from poultry and meat market, there are shops that sell metal handicrafts dry spices, fryums and pickles. Most businesses have been running since generations here. The building facade is made up of four Mughlai arches, with tin sheet sheds on each flank housing shops.
