Gulistan,
aka Liyaqat Manzil
A large mansion located in the Lakdi ka Pul area, this mansion was originally built in the 1920s, then known after its owner Liyaqat Jang as Liyaqat Manzi. It apparently changed hands later on and renamed as Gulistan by Bandeh Ali Khan (d.1989), son-in-law of Nawab Inayat Jang. The mansion was
gradually demolished beginning 2000, nothing was left by November 2008.
