In popular imagination, Bhagamati (Hyder Mahal) was a Hindu queen of Sultan Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, in whose honor Hyderabad was named.[1] There exists debate among scholars about whether there existed any Bhagamati at all and whether she influenced the naming.[2][3]
Popular narrative
Bhagmati was born in 'Chichlam' (place not identified) in a Hindu family; she was a local nautch-girl.[2] Qutb Shah fell in love with her to the extent of having constructed Purana Pul as a means of meeting her, and entered into a marriage.[2] Accordingly, the sultan named the city "Bhaganagar" or "Bhāgyanagar" in her honor. After she converted to Islam and adopted the title Hyder Mahal, the city was renamed Hyderabad.[4]
Scholarly debates
That Purana Pul was completed in 1578 after 2 years of construction; Qutb Shah (b:1566) was romancing Bhagmati as young as ten years.[2] Furthermore, no tomb was built over her last remains unlike other leading female figures of the court; no inscription, miniature or coin of that period mentions her name.[2][3] The conferral of 'Hyder', an immensely sacred Islamic attribute on a nautch-girl has been doubted.[2]
