The Paigah Palaces are in Hyderabad, the capital city of Andhra Pradesh, a state of India. It may be worth mentioning here that in the hierarchy of nobles of Hyderabad, the Paigah family ranked immediately next to the ruling family of Nizams. Abul Fateh Khan Tegh Jung Bahadur, progenitor of Paigah family migrated to Hyderabad in the late 1740's. Nizam Salabat Jung (not considered an Asaf Jah) conferred on him the order of nobility in 1756. It is also noteworthy that the Paigahs were also the foremost palace builders of Hyderabad.
