| Premamati's Mosque and Taramati's Biradari |
 |
Premamati was one a favorite among the courtesans of Abdullah Qutub Shah, the seventh
Qutub Shah. A mosque dedicated to her is situated on the road from Golconda to the
Himayat Sagar lake.
Exactly opposite, on an isolated hillock stands a testimony to the accomplished dancer,
Taramati. Built during the reign of Andullah Qutub Shah, the 'Biradari' or pavilion
is created out of a combination of Hindu and Persian architecture.
As a tribute to Taramati and Premamati, they were both buried in the royal cemetery
of the Qutub Shahi kings. |
