'''Purani Haveli''' also known as '''Masarrat Mahal palace''' is a palace located in [[Hyderabad, Telangana|Hyderabad]], [[Telangana]], [[India]]. It was the official residence of the [[Nizam]]. It was also known as ''Haveli Khadeem'', which means old mansion, was constructed for [[Nawab Mir Akbar Ali Khan Sikandar Jah, Asaf Jah III|Sikander Jah, Asaf Jah III]] (1803–1829) by his father [[Nawab Mir Nizam Ali Khan Bahadur, Nizam ul Mulk, Asaf Jah II|Ali Khan Bahadur, Asaf Jah II]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Hyderabad remembers Mahbub Ali Pasha|url=https://gulfnews.com/world/asia/india/hyderabad-remembers-mahbub-ali-pasha-1.1889879|newspaper=Gulf News|date=2 September 2016|accessdate=9 April 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderabad/2018/sep/09/keep-nizams-museum-shut-till-security-intensified-says-expert-1869563.html | title=Keep Nizam's museum shut till security intensified, says expert}}</ref>

== History ==
The second Nizam of Hyderabad, [[Nizam Ali Khan, Asaf Jah II|Mir Nizam Ali Khan]] had taken over this from Rukunudhaulah of the Momin dynasty, in 1717. The main building is a symbol of 18th-century European architecture. His successor [[Mir Akbar Ali Khan Sikander Jah, Asaf Jah III|Sikander Jah]] lived here for some time and later shifted to [[Chowmahalla Palace]]. Due to this, these buildings are called Purani Haveli. In this building complex, ''Ayina Khaana'' (Mirror House) and ''Chini Khaana'' (Chinese Glass House) were constructed.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/power-corridors-of-haveli-now-tottering-with-time/articleshow/59818267.cms|title=Power Corridors Of Haveli Now Tottering With Time - Times of India|work=The Times of India|access-date=2018-11-29}}</ref>

The [[Mahbub Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VI|sixth]] and [[Mir Osman Ali Khan|seventh]] Nizams were born at this palace, and did spend a part of their life at this palace.

Now the South Zone Deputy Commissioner of Police (Hyderabad) and South Zone Task Force Police Addl DCP offices are being functioned here.

==The Palace==
The [[Haveli]] is "U" in shape, with two [[Rectangle|oblong]] wings running parallel to each other and the residential palace located perpendicularly in the middle. The main building resembles 18th-century European palaces. A unique feature of this palace is the world's longest wardrobe, built in two levels with a hand-cranked wooden lift(elevator) in place. This occupies the entire length of one wing of the palace.

==The Museum==

The palace also houses the [[Nizam's museum]], which is dedicated to the last Nizam of Hyderabad state.
Currently the palace is being used as a school and as an [[Industrial training institute]].
