Bansilalpet Kaman
History
In January 1938, when the British Viceroy Linlithgow visited Hyderabad, he made it a point to visit the Bansilalpet Model Village. Linlithgow was received by among others Seth Pannalal Bansilal and Seth Goverdhan Lal Bansilal, the sons of Seth Bansilal. The grand ceremonial entrance known as the Bansilalpet Kaman is an entrance to the Bansilalpet Village and is now occupied by shops and small venders. The only marker is the foundation stone that was laid by a British Resident on February 13, 1933.
According to an initial study by historians, the well and Kaman may predate the construction of the residential colony by Seth Bansilal.
