Summary:

Ghous Mohammed Khan and Yaseen Mohammed Khan (Junior) also stayed in the same compound. Moti Mahal, Sadar Manzil, Hameed Manzil, Shaukat Mahal, Gauhar Mahal and surrounding heritage structures are connected buildings.Local residents were upbeat over the restoration of the gate which connects Sadar Manzil to Moti Mahal. When the project was finalised, it was understood that Moti Mahal restoration would include the interiors too, said a Smart City official, seeking anonymity.Moti Mahal restoration would now be limited to outer walls. Moti Mahal is adjacent to royal quadrant of eight palaces at the centre of Bhopal, overlooking the Upper Lake.
