It also includes a war mosque. These sites are under restrictive access to the public because of the Golf Course.

These structures are made of beautifully carved stonework, and surrounded by landscaped gardens. They are open to the public and receive many visitors. It is one of the famous sight seeing places in Hyderabad.
