Phisal Banda is a neighbourhood near Santoshnagar neighbourhood in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. It is well known for being the site of the historic Paigah Tombs and Phisal Banda Palace of Nawab Zafar Jung Bahadur of Khursheed Jahi Paigah, a rich nobleman and amateur astronomer in Hyderabad, who bought a 6-inch telescope from England in 1901. He installed the telescope on the premises of his Phisal Banda Palace estate in a seven-storey Almirah-type building, in Hyderabad. He named it Nizamiah Observatory after the sixth Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Mahboob Ali Khan. Nawab Zafar Jung Bahadur died in 1907 and as per his request, the Nizam's Government took over the observatory. In accordance with his wishes, the administration of the observatory was taken over by the Finance Department of the Nizam's Government in 1908.[2][3] (now Deccan Medical College and Owaisi Hospital are situated at the very same place).[1]
