Malwala palace

Malwala Palace is an architectural structure in Moghalpura that combines Mughal with Rajasthani building traditions in a single building. Wooden balconies, ornamental archways, and fine stucco work run throughout the structure and reveal the crafted details of its construction.

The palace was built in 1845 for Dewan Chandulal and served the Malwala family as a residence during the Nizam period. The family became known for managing revenue records and shaped local administrative history.

The palace displays a blend of three local building traditions visible in its details: Rajasthani carvings, Mughal arches, and Hyderabad-style ornaments shape its appearance. This combination shows how different influences existed side by side in the city.

The site is accessible daily and without entrance fees, making a visit possible at any time. Access is straightforward, and visitors can explore the grounds at their own pace.

The Raja Bhagwandas Bagh Pavilion on the grounds is one of only two wooden pavilions from that period still standing in Hyderabad. This rare example shows how uncommon such purely wooden structures were preserved in the city.
