Moazzam Jahi Market is a historic market in

Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Built in the twentieth century, it is located at the crossroads of Jam Bagh, Begum Bazaar, and Station Road.[1]

History

The Moazzam Jahi market was constructed in the period 1933-1935,

Hyderabad Railway Station and the Residency.[4] At the time, the primary market of Hyderabad was still Mir Alam Mandi, located in an older, more congested part of the city.[3]

The building was intended to function as a fruit market, but in practice sold a variety of other produce and goods as well. In the 1980s, the building's fruit market was shifted to the

Modern era

This market houses the Famous Ice Cream Shop, along with Gafoor and Bilal, which are known for their hand-made ice creams.[6] The Jambagh flower market, which used to be attached to the Moazzam Jahi market, was shifted to Gudimalkapur in 2009.[3]

Architecture

The building is made of granite. It features arches and a central dome.[1] The architecture of the market is an example of "CIB" or "Osmanian" architecture, a distinctive style that was consciously developed by the CIB as part of their urban renewal project. This architectural style was intended to communicate secularism, and drew from Kakatiya, Qutb Shahi, Mughal, and Asaf Jahi forms.[2]
