The Mir Alam Tank is an early 19th-century water reservoir constructed during the reign of Asaf Jah III, with Mir Alam Bahadur serving as Prime Minister.

The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.
