the tomb of the heritage structure now appears in white color
and the previous green color was done away with for unknown reasons and the people here say the historical museum loses its
distinct characteristic that will mark it out among other tombs. Mind you for the last 30 years the tomb was in green color but now after renovation, the color of the dargah is same as before. The renovation work was done by the retired engineers from the ASI.
Actually the famous Hari Gumbaz dargah houses the mausoleum of the great saint. It was built on November 31, 1848 AD and the saint was buried at Edi Bazaar, Hyderabad, in the garden of his grandson Hazrat Syed Daim.

The renovation was done by the custodian of the durgah himself; dargah-e-Qutub-ul-Hind (title) is located
in Band Naka near Edi Bazaar at Santoshnagar. The Wakf Board and GHMC, having failed to renovate the old structure, the 7th generation custodian took the decision to undertake tough task
of carrying ou major repairs, etc upon himself. For several years many representations were made to the authorities concerned, but none yielded any results. Work was taken up last May, 2018. Now, the work is almost over.
