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 calledSultan Nagar Fort. The construction of this fort was abandoned by his wifeHayat Bakshi Begum who considered his sudden death in 1625 a bad omen.[5] Later a new settlement known as Hayathnagar was established further east by the Begum. TheHayat Bakshi Mosque, located here, was commissioned by Begum Hayat Bakshi.[6][7]
