History

The Saroornagar Lake is a reservoir constructed in late 16th century during the Qutb Shahi era to provide water for irrigation of farm lands. This 400-year-old lake is spread across 1 sq. km area. [4]

Asaf Jah II had given away a village beyond Malakpet as inam (gift) to Prime Minister Nawab Arastu Jah Bahadur’s wife Suroor Afza Bai. Arastu built a palace for his wife here and developed a huge garden around it. Since then the village came to be known as Saroornagar. [4]

Saroornagar Palace was built both as a hunting lodge and as a summer resort by Mir Mahbub Ali Khan for himself and his family. The palace came up in 65 acres of land close to the Saroornagar Lake but was considered inauspicious for the Nizam, who then ordered it to be used as an orphanage. On the request of the then British Resident, it was dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria. It is thus known as Victoria Memorial Home. [4]
