SAROOR NAGAR

Hyderabad's suburb of Saroornagar. It is situated in the Telangana state of India's Rangareddy district. During the Qutb Shahi reign in the late 16th century, a reservoir called Saroornagar Lake was built to hold water for irrigation of farmlands. This lake, which is 400 years old, spans a square kilometre. The palace rose up in 65 acres of land next to the Saroornagar Lake but was considered unlucky for the Nizam, who subsequently ordered it to be utilised as an orphanage.
