Hyderabad was a former princely state in south-central India, with its capital in Hyderabad. It was formed by Nizam al-Mulk (af Jh), who served as viceroy of the Deccan (peninsular India) under the Mughal emperors intermittently from 1713 to 1721 and then resumed the position in 1724 under the title of Jh. Following the demise of the Mughal Empire, the Maratha Empire rose in the Deccan region. From 1911 to 1948, the last Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali Khan, controlled the state. Following the reign of the British, he was given the title “Faithful Ally of the British Empire.” The gradual changes in the modernisation of this state showed changing residential planning, solar usage and standardised social structure.

Philip Meadows Taylor piqued European interest in Deccan history with his books. A look at the life of the Britisher who lingered in Hyderabad as a devoted friend showed that Hyderabad had been a good partner of British rulers in the modern history of India. 

Miyapur, a large village near Hyderabad, ties much of its historical history to Hyderabad’s history. This territory was ruled by the Chalukyas, Kakatiyas, Bahmanis, Qutb Shahis, Mughals, and Asaf Jahis. It was frequently referred to as a branch of Bachupally village.

Miyapur is now part of the Ranga Reddy (RR) district, formerly known as ‘Hyderabad (Rural)’ district, which was formed on 15 August 1978 by carving out and deleting the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, as well as a few surrounding urban settlements that formed the urban core, of the erstwhile district of Hyderabad in the erstwhile Indian state of Hyderabad, and renamed Ranga Reddy district after the Late Sri K. V. Rang

To separate themselves from their mythological namesakes, the Ikshvakus are also known as the Andhra Ikshvakus or the Ikshvakus of Vijayapuri.

The Ikshvaku monarchs were Shaivites who practised Vedic ceremonies, but Buddhism thrived throughout their reign as well. The Buddhist monuments at present-day Nagarjunakonda were built with the help of several Ikshvaku queens and princes..
