Deccan Terrain Heritage adds another jewel to Hyderabad’s skyline under the Heritage in Urban Planning initiative.
The Ma Saheba Tank sculpture honours Hyderabad’s legacy as the “City of Pearls,” celebrating centuries-old pearl craftsmanship rooted in ancient trade with the Persian Gulf since 500 BCE. Flourishing under the Qutb Shahi and Asaf Jahi dynasties, this tradition—enriched by rare Basra pearls—cemented the city’s global reputation in fine jewellery.
Designed by Deccan Terrain Heritage, founded by *Mr. Mir Khan,* with the core team led by *Dr. Manjula Kashyap* , for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), the project celebrates the rich cultural heritage of Hyderabad and Telangana.
