History

In 1620, then ruler of Golconda, Sultan Muhammad Qutb Shah, decided to move his capital away from Golconda and Hyderabad. He selected a site about 6 miles (9.7 km) east of then Hyderabad, in what is today Saroornagar. The fort was named after himself and called Sultan Nagar Fort. The construction of this fort was abandoned by his wife Hayat Bakshi Begum who considered his sudden death in 1625 a bad omen. Later a new settlement known as Hayathnagar was established further east by the Begum. The Hayat Bakshi Mosque, located here, was commissioned by Begum Hayat Bakshi.

There is a Sai Baba Temple in Hayathnagar.
