The place

Sultan Bazar is a historic market in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. It lies between the commercial areas of Abids and Koti. The area occupied by Sultan Bazaar was part of what was earlier known as Residency Bazaars. The bazaars developed during colonial times along with the construction of the British Residency. Sultan Bazaar was previously under the control of the British and was handed over to control of Nizam on 14 June 1933. Later it was named after the nawab of that area, Syed Sultanuddin, and so is known as sultan bazar now.
