Aza Khana e Zehra, Hyderabad.[India] Here is a brief background and photos of Aza Khan e Zehra Hyderabad, AP, India. Aza Khana e Zehra: Built by the Mir Osman Ali Khan (the 7th Nizam of Hyderabad) in memory of his mother, Zehra. This Ashurkhana or place of Majalis, meetings, Sermons to mourn the martyrdom of Imam Hussain the grand son of the Prophet Muhammed[PBUH], who was assassinated in Karbala (Iraq) along with his  family members and friends more than 1 430 years ago in history.   Built about (construction period 1941-1958) 70 years ago, this magnificent place has very recently been tastefully restored to it glory by a prominent person from her personal funds at the cost of Rs 50 lakhs. This is a treasure trove for many ancient Arabic and Persian calligraphic text framed and exhibited within, the most rare and inimitable is the entire Koran hand written on silk, over a design of an Alam. The miniature writing is spread over approx. 3X5 feet fabric. The 4 chandeliers are very rare and the cost runs in crores, they are in Istanbul cut glass. The size of the central chandelier's is very grand. The Alam (Staff, Flag) are in gold and embedded with huge precious stones, many of which are only exhibited in the month of Muharrum. The acoustics are extremely well designed, where you can hear a person clearly from one end to the other end of a 400X200 feet hall. Ground floor is for assembly of the men and the mezzanine floor is for women. Since animal or human forms are not allowed in Islam, only geometric and floral patterns are extensively used on walls and ceiling along with scripts from the Quran in a harmonious colour theme. This place also was awarded the heritage award in 1999, much before its very well restored state today. Aza Khana e Zehra by night. Mir Osman Ali Khan. The builder.
