Raymond's Tomb

This place in located in Malakpet which is popular in Hyderabad. But this tomb is not known to people living in malakpet itself.
This is the tomb of Michel Joachim Marie Raymond who was Army General of Nizam.
And it's said that the place Musarambagh was named after him. Musa is Muslim name and Ram is Hindu name so he was called MusaRam to show religious unity in Hyderabad.

There was some construction in progress when we went there. Nothing more interesting other than a tomb. Bushes and flower plants blocking the view of sunset. They are making a runway around the tomb if that is finished it will be quite nice place to spend a peaceful evening watching sunset. I love it💓

It was fantastic to be there. I was literally enthralled having found a such serenity. Highly recommended. Good that Govt of Telangana is working for its beautification.

good architecture..i was really surprised that such a spacious tomb is located in malakpet surroundings..

It is a mind-blowing tourist place and also very good for photo shoots...but the place is not neat near rocks . Cow dung is there...

The tomb is located near Asman Garh Palace on top of a hillock at Mussa Ram Bagh, Malakpet, about 3 km from the Oliphant Bridge (currently known as Chaderghat Bridge), in East Hyderabad. Until about 1940, people would visit his tomb on the anniversary of his death, taking incense and other offerings to him.Nizams would send to his tomb on 25 March every year, a box of cheroots and a bottle of beer. His grave had become like a shrine.[2] He is also remembered in Hyderabad, with the area called Mussa Ram Bagh (Monsieur Raymond).Now It is ill maintained.It is destination for time passers and college bunkers

Good views and no crowd. Peaceful place.

200 years tomb and what a magnificent architecture. Must visit.

Raymond's tomb is the tomb of Michel Joachim Marie Raymond, a French general in the army of 2nd Nizam - Nizam Ali Khan, Asaf Jah II. The tomb, located in Hyderabad, India is a black granite tombstone, conical, about 7 metres high and it has the initials JR on it. Monsieur Raymond was pivotal in setting up the Gunfoundry .There are stories that the place name Musarambagh came because the people of the area referred to him as "Moosaram" which refers to the confluence of both Moosa and Ram.Besides Monsieur Raymond , His dog and his horse were also buried beside him.
Very peaceful place amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.

Simply love the architecture of this tomb. Though there is a security here, still we can find this place neglected, and very ill maintened. A monument that needs urgent from both people and the govt equally.

This is a tomb which is located a little away from the capital of the state. It is a 7 metre long obelisk that is built in black granite on memory of Jaochim Raymond.

He was the general in Nizam’s army. It is 200 years old and is located on the hillock of Malakpet. It is said that after his death, Nizam used to send a pack of cherrots and a beer bottle on his anniversary every year to this tomb.

The 200-year-old tomb had a facelift, including a brand new pavilion. Opened 14 April 2003 this cost an estimated 500,000 INR.

Park type and historical!

This is very very peace place and great history

This is a walk into deccan history. Although you wouldn't probably recognize by the importance given to his grave but he was quite an important man in late 18th century. Although, the structure is being neglected you should have a walk around this place and get to know about sir monsieur raymonds after whose name "moosarambagh" is named.
