== History ==<br />
In the hierarchy of nobles of Hyderabad, the Paigah family ranked immediately next to the ruling family of Nizams.<br />
<br />
The Paigahs were also the foremost palace builders of Hyderabad. The Falaknuma Palace was built by Nawab Viqar ul-Umra and was later acquired by the Nizam VI. Near the Chiraan Fort Palace lies the Deoris of [[Paigah Palace]] Nawab Muzaffar Nawaz Jung, Nawab Nazir Nawaz Jung, Nawab Khair Nawaz Jung, and Nawab Hassan Yar Jung, who were grandsons of [[Viqar-ul-Umra|Sir Viqar-ul-Umra]]. Chiraan fort was used as a residence for Sir Nawab Fareed Nawaz Jung and his family. The palace was passed down through three generations as residence until Sahebzade Hyder Nawab (grandson of Fareed nawaz Jung and paternal grandson of [[Moin-Ud-Daula Bahadur]]) converted the palace into a club/restaurant. <br />
