'''Aghapura''' is a neighbourhood in [[Hyderabad, India]]. Located between the major suburbs of Hyderabad, [[Nampally, Hyderabad|Nampally]] and [[Mehdipatnam]]. The area is famous for ''Aghapura Charkhandil'' - four lamps which used to exist which would be lit at night. A designated person would light the lamps every day during the evening. Hence this particular spot is still referred to its old name and is a landmark. Aghapura is named after Agha Muhammad Dawood Abul Ulai, a disciple of Sufi saint Shah Mohammed Hassan Abul Ulai.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-downtown/aghapura-moving-ahead-with-times/article3837622.ece|title=Aghapura moving ahead with times|last=Khan|first=Asif Yar|date=2012-08-30|work=The Hindu|access-date=2019-01-31|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/280118/illuminated-aghapura-dargah-is-a-delight.html|title=Illuminated Aghapura Dargah is a delight|last=Iyer|first=Lalita|date=2018-01-28|website=Deccan Chronicle|language=en|access-date=2019-01-31}}</ref> The shrine, also known as Aghapura Dargah, was awarded during world Heritage day.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://intach.ap.nic.in/awards8.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090803110434/http://intach.ap.nic.in/awards8.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=2009-08-03|title=World Heritage award|date=2004}}</ref><br />
