Welcome to the Royal Tombs of Golconda, the final resting place of the seven Qutb Shahi Kings who ruled the land of the famous diamond, Koh-i-Noor. Documented in different media, these royal mausoleums have inspired generations of visitors. These single dome mausoleums, mosques, basins and pools of water including heritage fountains in the Indo-Islamic style are replete with crenellations, friezes, tile work, roundels, plaster designs, stucco work, floral designs and geometrical patterns which may be seen as symbolizing the Islamic principle of 'Tawhid' (the unity of all things). and 'Mizan' (order and balance) which are the laws of creation in Islam.
