The area is named after a Khairunnissa, whose tomb is located next to the [[Khairtabad Mosque]] though the access is to the back of the monument. This tomb could be that of Khair-un-Nissa, the wife of [[James Achilles Kirkpatrick|Captain James Achilles Kirkpatrick]] mentioned in the 2002 book ''[[White Mughals]]'' by [[William Dalrymple (historian)|William Dalrymple]]. The 300-year-old Reddy house (Surname:Maramaganti) is there.<br />

==The Idol and the Ganesh Chathurthi==<br />
{{main article|Khairtabad Ganesh}}<br />
<br />
The largest [[Lord Ganesh]] Idol in Hyderabad is installed near Khairtabad State Library during [[Ganesh chaturthi]] festival.<br />
<br />
The local people participate in the 11-day festival and thousands of people from throughout India visit the Idol to seek the blessings of Lord Ganesh. On the 11th day, a procession carries the idol to [[Hussain sagar|Hussain Sagar Lake]]. After immersing the idol, the festival ends.<br />
<br />
The local people formed the Ganesh Utsav Committee, Khairtabad<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ganapathideva.org/index.html|title=Ganapathi Deva {{!}} Ganesh Utsav {{!}} Khairathabad Ganesh Hyderabad|last=deva|first=Ganapathi|website=Khairathabad Ganesh Hyderabad {{!}} Ganesh Chaturthi Hyderabad|language=en|access-date=2019-03-28}}</ref> to support the festival days. The Singari family has conducted the festival since 1954. Many poor families survive by selling products to visitors.<br />
<br />
Three months prior to festival day the construction of the idol begins. Nearly 200 workers led by a sculpturist work day and night for three months to construct this large idol, towering nearly 58 feet in height.<br />
<br />
Starting in 2018. the Ganesh Utsava Committee agreed to switch from [[plaster]] of Paris to an eco-friendly clay idol.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/hyderabads-tallest-ganesha-to-be-a-centre-of-attraction-as-always/articleshow/60218361.cms|title=Hyderabad's tallest Ganesha to be a centre of attraction as always}}</ref><br />
