History
In 1499 AD a severe famine occurred in Maharashtra state. This led to the emigration of many Brahmins to the South. Many settled in Chichlam village. Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah married Bhagamati in 1589. Bhagamati was a resident of Chichlam, logically of Brahmin extraction. She converted to Islam in 1605 AD. Upon her conversion to Islam, she took the name Begum Hyder Mahal and the name of the city changed to Hyderabad after her. After she became Qutubshahi queen in 1589, Mohummad Quli Qutubshah named his new dream city Bhaganagar after the name of his beloved Bhagamati in 1591 AD.[1][2]
चिचेलम
विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[3] ने लेख किया है ...चिचेलम(AS, p.333) मूसी नदी के तट पर स्थित एक छोटा-सा गाँव है। इस गाँव के चारों ओर 'भागनगर' या वर्तमान 'हैदराबाद' का निर्माण हुआ था। मूल रूप से हैदराबाद को बसाने वाले गोलकुंडा नरेश क़ुली क़ुतुबशाह की प्रेयसी सुंदरी भागवती का यह निवास स्थान था। भागवती के नाम पर ही भागनगर बसाया गया था, जो बाद में हैदराबाद नाम से प्रसिद्ध हुआ। कहा जाता है कि हैदराबाद का केंद्रीय स्थान 'चारमीनार' चिचेलम गाँव में ही बनाया गया था।
