Revered Mother Mausoleum

Qutb Shahi Tombs, Golkunda, Telangana - India

 

Newly renovated (in 2020) tomb of Hayat Bakshi Begum, daughter of Muhammed Quli Qutb Shah, the fifth sultan, wife of Sultan Muhammed Qutb Shah, the sixth sultan, and mother of Abdullah Qutb Shah, the seventh sultan. She was affectionately known as "Ma Saheba" (Revered Mother).

for more details.

 

Many thanks to Manfred Sommer (www.flickr.com/photos/asienman) and his spectacular Flickr account, which enabled me to ascertain the identification of the mausoleum.
