On Friday I got an opportunity to explore the restricted palace from somewhat close distance thanks to the fact that the Nawab is some long-distance relative and Friday prayers are held in the Masjid inside.

I didn't explore the palace from inside and I think I made a big mistake of not seeking permission from the Nawab and losing this golden opportunity.

Anyways whatever I have explored is as follows:


The Masjid

The Masjid was earlier not used, but now the Nawab has opened it up for public. Many people come here for Friday prayers now.
There is one large tomb, next to the Masjid with some more graves behind. Probably this was the private graveyard of the Siddis.






The place for performing Wadhu:

Also present is some Dargah behind it.



Ruined Buildings

There are many dilapidated buildings in the area thanks to lack of maintainence.

Some buildings are totally ruined like this one:




Others are still standing:





There is even a ruined fountain:





The Palace

This is one structure in the palace compound that is still standing properly and is well maintained obviously because the Nawab stays there.

Next time InshaAllah I will surely seek permission to explore the inside of the palace.
