The '''Ashurkhana Sayyid Jamshed Ali Khan''', also known as the '''Lohe Ki Kamaan''', is an [[ashurkhana]] in [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]] in [[Andhra Pradesh]], [[India]]. It was built during the [[Qutb Shahi dynasty]] in 1060 [[Hijri year|hijri]] (1650 AD) during the reign of [[Abdullah Qutb Shah]].

The entrance gate to the ashurkhana has a wooden tablet engraved with verses from the [[Quran]], and the date of the building's construction. This ashurkhana houses [[Islamic flags|alams]] (standards) of a unique type which were installed by Nawab [[Sayyid]] Mukarram Ali Khan (Qaisar Jang), son of Nawab Sayyid Muhammad Ali Khan (Azim Jang Azim Ud-Daula) the grandson of the famous general of the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] king [[Farrukhsiyar]] Sayyid Hussain Ali Khan (Amiral Umra), one of the [[kingmaker|kingmaking]] [[Sayyid Brothers]] during the Mughal period.

==History==
Sayyid Mukarram Ali Khan was an eminent noble during the period of the third [[Nizam of Hyderabad]], [[Mir Akbar Ali Khan Sikander Jah, Asaf Jah III|Sikander Jah]]. He and his son Nawab Sayyid Jamshed Ali Khan (Ibne-Qaisar Jang) were among the great nobles of the period, the [[Umra e Uzzam]]. The alams, which were installed in 1220 hijri, are of the [[Asaf Jahi]] period during Sikander Jah's reign. The alams bear the engravings on their reverse side. The alams are uniquely in the shape of a [[tughra]], the only known representatives of this type.

The descendants of Sayyid Jamshed Ali Khan are collectively known as Khanwada e Qaisar Jang. This family of sayyids have a Shajra-e-Nasab ([[family tree]]) tracing from Imam [[Hussein ibn Ali]] and [[Zayn al-‘Ābidīn]]. One of the grandsons of Sayyid Jamshed Ali Khan, Mir Durray Ali Khan (Fauq) was prominent among the poets of Hyderabad. He devised tunes (taraz) for the [[Marsiya]] which are still followed by [[Naat Khawan|khawans]] of Hyderabad.

==Tabarrukat==
The ashurkhana houses many tabarrukat ([[relic]]s) of holy value in [[Shia Islam]].
*The Tasbih-e-Khake Shifa turns blood red at the time of Asr e Tang (the time of Shahadat e [[Imam Hussain]]). Every year this [[tasbih]] is shown publicly on the [[Day of Ashura]] (10th Muharram).
*The Shabih-e-Mubarak are some very old [[Persian miniature|miniature paintings]] of the prophet, [[Imam Ali]] and Imam Hussain, which are also shown on the same day.
*The sacred robe Payrahan-e-Mubarak of Imam [[Zayn al-‘Ābidīn]], the fourth [[Imamah (Shi'a doctrine)|Shi'a Imam]]: this holy relic once belonged to the family of Jamshed Ali Khan Qaisar Jang, and was shown along with the Tasbih-e-Khake shifa. This sacred robe is cared for by the Shaheed Yar Jang family and is shown publicly every year in the month of Muharrum at Devdi Inayath Jang.
*The [[Minbar]] of this ashurkhana is unique, as it resembles the [[Takht e Taus]], the Peacock Throne of Mughal India.
