History
Nirmal: In southern Adilabad, the town of Nirmal, is of historic interest. It seems to have been held originally by the Velmas until it was taken in the latter part of the 18th century by Mirza Ibrahim Baig Zafruddaula, also known as Dhaunsa, a general of the Second Nizam. This noble man reconstructed the present fortress of Nirmal, the architects being Frenchmen in the Nizam’s service. The Saradmahal, which is now used, as a travellers’ bungalow, is on the site of the old buildings constructed by this chieftain. After his death his sons rebelled against the Nizam, who had to march upon Nirmal and reduce the fort. The estate was then confiscated and Nirmal became a part of the State... [1]
Other places worth seeing in Nirmal are the Mahadeo temple and its sculptures, the 17thcentury Jami Masjid, and Ibrahimbagh with its gardens and fountains.
Today Nirmal is the home of a fine wood, lacquer and toy industry which has become known even out side India, and a visit to one of these cottage industry factories is instructive.
