Hyderabad House: Where history meets diplomacy for the Modi-Putin meet
India
Prime Minister Modi and Russian President Putin are set to meet at Delhi's Hyderabad House—a place with serious royal vibes.
Built in 1928 for the Nizam of Hyderabad's son, this grand estate blends classic Indo-Saracenic architecture with a dash of old-school luxury.
Once a royal home, it's now where some of India's biggest diplomatic moments happen.
From palace to power meetings
After independence, Hyderabad House switched from royal residence to official state venue.
By the 1950s, its ornate halls were hosting summits and banquets for world leaders.
Today, it stands as a symbol of India's rich past and its ongoing role on the global stage—still welcoming presidents, prime ministers, and big conversations that shape international relations.
