About Paigah:
Paigah is a Farsi word, which says “footstool”. It means Right-hand man in English.
The noble families of Paigah, during the 18th century, were among the most influential and powerful families of the Princely State of Hyderabad’s aristocracy. Claiming to be the descendants of the second caliph Hazrath Omar bin Al-Khattab, the nobles of Paigah were believed to be wealthier than the average Maharajah of the country and they were the only ones to have the privilege of maintaining their own court, palaces, as well as their own private armies.
Abdul Fateh Khan Tegh Jung is credited as the founder of the Paigah nobility during the reign of the second Nizam, Salabat Jang. Shams-ul-Mulk, Shams-ul-Doula, and Shams-ul-Umara were the hereditary titles conferred to him by the Nizam. It means “the sun among the masses and nobles”.
The Paigahs were given the responsibility to take care of the security and defense of the state. They were very close to the Nizams. Paigahs who married daughters of the Nizams were the highest-ranking nobles in the princely state of Hyderabad, after the family of Nizams.
Paigah Tombs:
Spread across an area of 30-40 acres, the origin of Paigah Tombs can be traced back to the late 18th century. One of the popular sightseeing places in Hyderabad, The Paigahs, were the great patrons of art and architecture. The marvelous artistry of the Paigahs is shown in the mosaic tile work that has been inlaid. The Paigah tombs, located in the Pisal Banda suburbs in Hyderabad, are most intricately carved and are enclosed in facades of pierced marble.
Paigah tombs have graves of many members of the family. These members also had primary nobility in the court of Nizams. Some of the tombs are of Sultan-ul-Mulk, Shams-ul-Umra, Zaheer Yar Jung, Sir Viqar-ul-Umara, Sir Khursheed Jah, Asman Jah, and others.
Paigah Tombs Architecture:
The tombs are the finest examples of Indo-Islamic architecture, which is a blend of both features of the Asaf Jahi and Rajputana styles. Paigah Tombs have been decorated with exceptionally crafted geometrical patterns and carefully created designs. These tombs have been skilfully carved and their inlaid mosaic tile work is breathtaking. The famous ‘Jali’ work makes it even more attractive. Each Tomb has been designed differently, ensuing a unique style and design. Each Paigah tomb consists of elaborate covering and marble fences that are adorned with exemplary geometrical and floral designs. However, if you observe carefully, you will be able to notice the design difference between the tombs. The semi-circular arches, representing Indian architecture, are also seen here.
At the entrance of the tombs, there is an iron tablet with inscriptions about Paigah's lineage. Chants and tributes have also been imprinted on epitaphs. Another key feature of these tombs is that they demonstrate the royal family tree.
