The building was originally the Hyderabad State Town hall
which is housed in white domed buildings. The architecture is a
synthesis of Rajasthani and Persian styles. This structure was
originally built in 1913 with annexes added in recent years. The
citizens of Hyderabad raised money to build it to mark the 40th
birthday of Nizam Mahboob Ali Khan in 1905. Situated on the left of
the road leading to Lakdi-Ka-Pul from the Public Garden, a massive
statue of Mahatma Ghandhi in a sitting position greets visitors at
the entrance. Now it houses the 295 seat Andhra Pradesh Legislative
Asseembly.
