Hyderabad by Walk - Saidani Ma Tomb (Maqbara Saidani Ma Saheba)

 As one gets closer to the Hussain Sagar lake one cannot miss the beautiful structure to the left - the Sadanima Tomb (1883). Built in the memory of Nawab Aabdul Haq Diler Jung's mother Saidani Ma Begum, its a protected monument which reflects the fine craftsmanship of both Mughal and Qutb Shahi architecture with fine decorations and jaalis.

Stucco work

Jaalis

There is a dargah right next to it and they have built some modern structures right next to the tomb as if to highlight the degeneration in our sensibilities and architecture.

How much ever you gaze at this structure you are left wanting for more.
