Badshahi Ashurkhana, Religious monument near Charminar, Hyderabad, India
The Badshahi Ashurkhana features decorated walls with Persian enamel tiles displaying intricate geometric patterns, floral motifs, and traditional Indian designs throughout its halls.
Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah commissioned this religious structure in 1594, making it the second oldest monument in Hyderabad after the construction of Charminar.
The Ashurkhana functions as a gathering place for Shia Muslims during Muharram observances to commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussain through religious ceremonies.
The complex includes multiple functional areas such as the Niyaz Khana for offerings, Sarai Khana for rest, and Abdar Khana for water facilities.
The original enamel tiles from 1611 maintain their color intensity and patterns after four centuries, displaying exceptional preservation of Persian artistic elements.
