Daira Mir Momin

Daira Mir Momin, (Urdu:, also called Daira-i-Mir Momin), is a Muslim cemetery located in the Old City of Hyderabad.

History
It was established during the Qutb Shahi period in the 16th century around the grave of Mir Momin Astarabadi, who was the minister of the Golconda Sultanate and the planner of Hyderabad. It is said that he ordered camel-loads of soil to be brought from Karbala and sprinkled across the graveyard.
