==History==<br />
The 200-year-old tomb had a facelift, including a brand new pavilion. Opened 14 April 2003 this cost an estimated 500,000 INR.<br />
<br />
==Location==<br />
The tomb is located near [[Asman Garh Palace]] on top of a hillock at Tirumala Hills, Malakpet, about 3 km from the Oliphant Bridge (currently known as Chaderghat Bridge), in East Hyderabad. Until about 1940, people would visit his tomb on the anniversary of his death, taking incense and other offerings to him. The Nizams would send to his tomb on 25 March every year, a box of cheroots and a bottle of beer. His grave had become like a shrine. He is also remembered in Hyderabad, with the area called [[Mussa Ram Bagh]] (Monsieur Raymond). This Obelisk also offers a beautiful view of the Old city of Hyderabad.<br />
