It is likely named afterIram, a lost city mentioned in theQur'an that was said to have lofty pillars.[3]Hyderabad, being a city with strongPerso-Arabic affinities, was home to many grand palaces and monuments that were often named after Quranic and legendary places. Some have attempted to derive etymologies from local languages, but these are likely unfounded.
Errum Manzil was used for royal banquets and other grand events. Later, the palace was taken over by the Government to be used as a records store-house. After some years it was again transferred into the hands of Public Works Department. Presently the land on which the palace is located houses offices of the Engineers-in-chief and the Chief Engineers of the Roads and Buildings and Irrigation/Command Area Development Departments.
TheGovernment of Telangana previously announced that the structure would be razed because of its dilapidated state. There has been a coordinated effort by locals to preserve this historic structure. This structure falls under the B2 category on the list Archaeological Survey of India.[4][5][6][7][8] Recently, a High Court order made it illegal to demolish the structure.[9]
Built in the Indo-EuropeanBaroque style of architecture, during its heyday the palace had over 150 rooms furnished with Louis XVI furniture, nine-hole golf course, polo ground, stable for horses and a dairy farm. The palace was full ofstucco and ornamental works. The palace used to overlook theHussain Sagar, but this view has now been blocked by other buildings.
