 The 18th century Paigah Tombs are splendid structures, adorned in stuccowork, representing the Asaf Jahi and Rajasthani styles. The tombs have a unique geometrical design, not found elsewhere in the world, being perforated with screens. Situated at Santoshnagar, the tombs were built with distinctive marble, lime and mortar in Indo-Sarcenic architectural style, ornamented with flowers, famous jali work (screens), and marble inlay work.
