The Darbar Hall, which used to be a crucial space for the British residents in Hyderabad during the Raj, and which is a prominent presence in William Dalrymple’s ‘White Mughals’, is gradually regaining lost splendour. The structure, standing tall on the premises of the Osmania University College for Women, popular as the Koti Women’s College, has conservation architects and artists moving into the final stages of a major restoration project.

One of the most important aspects of the restoration, the papier-mache ceilings with their multi-coloured flower and vegetable patterns and gilded beadings, which were damaged over the years, have now been restored to their original form. “Only the damaged portions of the ceilings were completely restored,” said Lithish, one of the conservation architects who is working at the Darbar Hall.
