| ==History==
| | }} |
| Khairtabad Mosque was built by [[Khairunisa Begum]] in 1626 AD, also known as Ma Saheba, daughter of VI [[Sultan Muhammad Qutb Shah]] (1612–1626 AD). She built the mosque for her tutor Akhund Mulla Abul Malik.
| |
| | |
| There is an empty domed building adjacent to the mosque. The reason for its being devoid of any grave is that it was built by Akhund for self burial; as he died during his pilgrimage to [[Haj]] in [[Mecca]], the dome remains vacant.<ref name="Andhra Pradesh Tourism"/>
| |
| | |
| [[Khairunisa Begum]] asked his son-in-law [[Hussain Shah Wali]] to construct a palace, a mosque and a tank for the princess. The tank later became famous as [[Hussain Sagar]], built in the northern boundary of [[Khairtabad]].<ref name=":0" />

| Khairatabad Mosque was designed and constructed by [[Hussain Shah Wali]]. The mosque has a three-arch opening in front. The slender minarets of the mosque have lot of decorative work and the Jali (net) work is worth seeing.<ref>{{Cite document | url=http://dome.mit.edu/handle/1721.3/32109 |title = Khairatabad Mosque|year = 1612}}</ref>
