The Royal House of Nizam

The Royal House of Nizam refers to the ruling family of Hyderabad, a princely state in India during the British colonial era. The title "Nizam" means "governor" or "administrator," and the Nizams were known for their wealth, cultural contributions, and unique blend of Indian and Mughal traditions. They ruled from the 18th century until 1948, when Hyderabad was integrated into India. The Nizams were significant patrons of art, architecture, and education, and their legacy still influences the region today, evident in Hyderabad's cuisine, language, and heritage sites.
