DARGA HAZRATH SAIDANIMA SAHEBA “It may be, it just may be, that life as we know it with its humanity is more unique than many have thought.” - Lyndon B. Johnson
Hazrath Saidanima Saheba was mother of Abdul Haq Diler Jung, who was a high ranking official during the mid-Nineteenth century. The main tomb in the darga is of Hazrath Saidanima Saheba. It is unique in itself because it is one among those where the entire upper portion, dome etc. of the tomb is Qutb Shahi but the arcade at the ground floor is of cusped arches in Mughal style. A very conspicuous specimen of Neo Qutb Shahi style is this tomb and that Abdul Haq Diler Jung own tomb (1896), near Secunderabad Boats Club. His tomb has intricate Jali work.
