History of KBR National Park

The state government made KBR Park a national park in 1998, before which it was a palace. People often call this national park "Chiran Palace" after the house was built there in 1940. People think that Azam Jah gave this house to his son, Prince Mukarram Jah when he became king.

They built this beautiful castle on two floors, and it stands over a vast area of land. On the other hand, they gave his oldest son the fancy top floor of the Chiran castle as a gift. They have spread out sixteen more pieces of the Nizam's land in the area. The government received the land in its entirety in the late 1990s.
