Basheer Bagh Palace it was once a palace with great architecture and magnificent interior.

He died at this palace on 25 April 1968. At one point of time, the Palace was a great architectural monument. Very special care was taken to construct its superb interiors. It was for this reason that all sorts of facilities were provided. However, it was in the year of 1956 that the state government of India dismantled this palace after the formation of Andhra Pradesh state. From then onwards, the palace also became known as Basheerbagh. Nowadays no traces of the palace are left. It has become a history and can be spotted only in pictures.
