Pathargatti is a boulevard constructed of stone located near the Madina centre in Hyderabad.[1] The two storied structures were constructed using granite and were originally designed to house shops on the ground floor and residence on the first floor.[2]

History

[edit | edit source]

It was built during the reign of the last Nizam of Hyderabad State, Mir Osman Ali Khan in 1911.[3] As the building was constructed in stone or Pathar, it was named Pathargatti. It was designed by the renowned engineer Vishveshwaraiah [attribution needed] in a distinctive Osmanian architecture style. Pathergatti was a prominent business hub in Hyderabad for past one century. Pathergatti market is Hyderabad's first stone-arcaded market.[4]
