Chowmahalla Palace or Chowmahallat (4 Palaces), was a palace belonging to the Nizams of Hyderabad state. It was the seat of the Asaf Jahi dynasty and was the official residence of the Nizam.
In Persian, Chahar means four and in Arabic Mahalat (plural of Mahal) means palaces, hence the name Chowmahallat/four palaces, or four palaces.
All ceremonial functions including the accession of the Nizams and receptions for the Governor-General were held at this palace.
The prestigious UNESCO Asia Pacific Merit award for cultural heritage conservation was presented to Chowmahalla Palace on March 15, 2010. UNESCO representative Takahiko Makino formally handed over the plaque and certificate to Princess Esra, former wife and GPA holder of Prince Mukarram Jah Bahadur.
While Salabat Jung initiated its construction in 1750, it was completed by the period of Afzal ad-Dawlah, Asaf Jah V, the V Nizam ensured its completion between 1857 and 1869.
It is believed to be modelled on Shah of Iran's palace in Tehran.
The palace is unique for its style and elegance. Building of the palace began in the late 18th century and over the decades a synthesis of many architectural styles and influences emerged.
This palace consists of two courtyards, southern courtyard and northern courtyard. They have elegant palaces, the grand Khilwat (the Durbar Hall), fountains and gardens.
The palace originally covered 45 acres (180,000 m2), but only 14 acres (57,000 m2) remain today.
The present Nizam (Barkat Ali Khan Mukarram Jah, Pretender) and his family decided to restore the Chowmahalla Palace and open it to the public in January 2005. It took over 5 years to document and restore the palaces of the first courtyard to its former glory.

Tehran is Iran's capital which spreads at the foot of huge Alborz range. After the sunset the town is wrapped in momentary silence.

Tehran's sky is almost hazy and smoky, which I couldn't see neighter the details of the city nor the southern mountains (which are visible in this photo, bottom left side).
Once a day I woke up and saw this lovely view, immidiately brought my camera and tripod and took this shot!
You know, Tehran is one of the biggest city all over the world, the mountains you can see in left side of the photo are "Bibi Shahrbanoo" mountains which are more than 25 kilometers away from our house. (Our house is located at the northern mountains slipe of Tehran, near the Jamshidieh park)
This is my first DRI try.
This photo is taken from my balcony (at northern part of Tehran, Jamshidieh-Jamaran)
