Nizam's Golden Throne

The Nizam's Golden Throne was a luxurious ceremonial seat used by the Nizam, the ruler of Hyderabad, India, until 1948. Made of gold and intricately decorated, it symbolized the ruler’s authority and regal status. The throne was primarily used for grand public events and formal occasions, showcasing the wealth and prestige of the Nizam. After Hyderabad's integration into India, the throne was preserved as a historical artifact, representing a significant era of princely sovereignty and cultural heritage.
