Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Tuesday invited Prince Rahim Aga Khan V, the 50th hereditary Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims and Chairman of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), to attend the Telangana Global Summit during a meeting held at Taj Falaknuma Palace in Hyderabad. This was Prince Rahim Aga Khan's first visit to the state. During the meeting, Revanth Reddy expressed his appreciation for the Aga Khan Foundation and its role in the restoration and conservation of heritage assets in Telangana. The Chief Minister said the foundation had played a crucial role in restoring several heritage structures, including the Legislative Council building and the Qutb Shahi Tombs. He also said the state government was preparing plans for the rejuvenation of the Musi River and was seeking the Aga Khan Foundation’s cooperation in restoring the City College and Osmania Hospital buildings located along the Musi basin. CM Revanth also informed the Prince that a new building for Osmania Hospital was being constructed at Goshamahal, while the existing hospital building would be developed as a heritage asset. The government also plans to develop the Musi River as a hub for the night economy, he said.
Inviting Prince Rahim Aga Khan V to the Telangana Global Summit, the Chief Minister said the event would be held at Future City on December 7, 8 and 9, with representatives from more than 100 countries expected to participate.
Telangana Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla on Monday welcomed Prince Rahim Aga Khan V to the Lok Bhavan during his first official visit to India and Telangana after assuming his responsibilities. Aga Khan V highlighted the AKDN’s work in Telangana in urban renewal, community healthcare, women-led development and employment generation, and noted the significant benefits these initiatives had brought to local communities. He underscored the need to sustain and deepen the development partnership between the AKDN and Telangana.

During the final leg of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s visit to India, he met with the Honourable Chief Minister of Telangana, Shri Anumula Revanth Reddy.
Hazar Imam and the Chief Minister discussed several areas for continued collaboration in Telangana, as the Aga Khan Development Network’s activities continue to expand in the state.
“I greatly value the cooperation that has enabled us to contribute to improving the quality of life and creating opportunities for people in Telangana,” Hazar Imam said.
“The experience of our partnership across areas such as cultural heritage, education, healthcare and community development provides a strong foundation for continuing to strengthen this relationship and exploring further areas of collaboration in support of shared development priorities.”
The Chief Minister expressed his appreciation for the Aga Khan Trust for Culture’s work in the state, as well as AKDN’s contribution to education, especially through the Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad.
Their last meeting came in July 2024, when the Chief Minister inaugurated the Qutb Shahi Heritage Park in the presence of Hazar Imam. The restoration of the Qutb Shahi Tombs involved the conservation of over 100 monuments spread across 106 acres, making it the largest ever conservation effort undertaken in India.

CM invites Prince Rahim Aga Khan to Telangana Rising Global Summit
Hyderabad, Sep 15 (PTI) Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Tuesday invited Prince Rahim Aga Khan V, 50th Imam of the Ismaili Muslims, to attend the Telangana Rising Global Summit to be organised by the state government for three days from December 7.
Reddy, who paid a courtesy visit to Aga Khan here, sought collaboration in education, tourism, and healthcare sectors and the assistance of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) in renovating the Nizam-era City College Osmania General Hospital (OGH) here.
He said the state government is constructing new buildings for the OGH and the old hospital complex is planned to be developed as a heritage structure, according to an official release.
He said the Global Summit would be organised in the Future City being developed by the state government on Hyderabad’s outskirts.
Representatives from 100 countries are expected to attend the summit.
When CM Revanth Reddy explained the plan to develop the ‘Bharat Future City’ in 30,000 acres, Aga Khan showed keen interest in the project and specifically enquired about the location of the Future City, the release said.
Reddy said the Future City is being developed on 30,000 acres as a net zero city.
He also said a company from Singapore is preparing the master plan for the Future City which would be just 20 minutes away from the city’s international airport.
He highlighted that a ‘green zone’ would come up in 15,000 acres in the Future City. Top companies like Amazon have started their operations in the Future City, he said.
Reddy also briefed Aga Khan on the state government’s grand plans for rejuvenation of the Musi river here and to develop a ‘night economy’ alongside the river.
Noting that the government holds the Aga Khan Foundation in high regard, the CM commended the initiatives undertaken by the Foundation in Telangana.
Highlighting Aga Khan Foundation’s pivotal role in restoring Telangana’s heritage monuments, he said the Legislative Council building, restored with the Foundation’s support, was recently inaugurated.
The release said the previous meeting of the CM and Aga Khan during the inauguration of the Qutb Shahi tombs which were also restored with the assistance of Aga Khan Foundation, was also discussed, it said.
The CM also highlighted the state government’s goal of transforming Telangana into a USD three trillion economy by 2047.
While Telangana currently contributes 2.5 per cent to the national GDP, the aim is to raise this share to 10 per cent, he said.
During the meeting, Revanth Reddy expressed grief over the passing of Prince Rahim Aga Khan V’s father, the late Aga Khan IV, the release said.
The Chief Minister recalled the long-standing bond the Aga Khan family had with the historic Hyderabad city, it said.
Meanwhile, former Chief Secretary and CM’s Advisor K Ramakrishna Rao briefed Aga Khan on the agreements the Telangana government had recently signed with various world-class universities during the visit to Britain and the United States.
Ramakrishna Rao said institutions such as Harvard University and the London School of Business, along with other universities, have agreed to commence operations in Hyderabad.
Yogita Rana, Principal Secretary of the Education department, requested the establishment of a campus of Aga Khan University in the ‘Future City’.
Special Chief Secretary Vani Prasad highlighted the role played by the Aga Khan Foundation in the tourism sector and urged further collaboration, the release added.
State Minority Affairs Minister Mohammad Azharuddin was also present during the meeting.
Aga Khan began his India visit on September 9 following an invitation from Vice President C P Radhakrishnan.
He called on Telangana Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla here on September 14. PTI SJR SJR ROH

Mawlana Hazar Imam graced the Southern India Jamat with a didar in Hyderabad, before departing the city, bringing a close to his seven-day visit to India.
At this afternoon’s didar, the Mukhi of Hyderabad Headquarters Jamatkhana submitted bay‘a on behalf of the Southern India Jamat.
Later, Hazar Imam was presented with Chhatra Chaya, meaning ‘protective canopy.’ The canopy features messages of gratitude from the Jamat for the Imam’s guidance and protection.
Planning for the didars across Gandhinagar, Mumbai, and Hyderabad shared a common goal: to minimise impact on the environment. An art installation was presented to Hazar Imam, displaying the materials used as a result of sustainable choices. From these, roots rise, growing into a living banyan tree, intentionally unfinished—an invitation for what the Jamat does next.
Hazar Imam was bid farewell by Mohammad Azharuddin, Telangana’s Minister for Public Enterprises and Minority Welfare, along with other State officials and a delegation of Jamati leaders.
Over the past week, Hazar Imam has met with the President, Vice President, and Prime Minister of India as well as central and state government officials; while the Jamat was blessed with six didars across three cities and an institutional reception. The historic visit will live long in the memory of all involved.

I asked for his permission can I stand here, HH SAID PLS GLADLY DO
He shook hands, he smiled and all Ismaili were like you got the most amount of time with HH he was talking to you. Even when he was talking to others mostly he maintained eye contact with me and I got the most amount of chatting time with him where he also indulged
I also got a chance to tell MHI that I had written a letter to your dad and expressed my desire to cook for him.
He was listening very carefully to me and told Shafiq twice to get in touch with me

Re: India visit & Mulakat 10-15 September 2026
THE DIDAR IS OVER…
NOW WHAT?
Thousands waited.
Thousands prayed.
Thousands cried tears of joy.
And then came that unforgettable moment…
DIDAR.
Congratulations to all Indian Jamats on receiving the blessed Didar of Mowlana Hazar Imam in your homeland.
But let me ask you something that may be even more important:
AFTER DIDAR… WHAT NEXT?
There is a beautiful story from Sindh, Pakistan, associated with Mowlana Sultan Muhammad Shah.
During a Didar, Mowlana looked at the Jamat and asked:
“Is there anyone here who can say he is sinless?”
Silence.
He asked again.
“Are there any murids here who are sinless?”
Again, nobody answered.
Then suddenly…
ONE BHAGAT STOOD UP.
Everyone looked at him.
Mowlana asked:
“How can you say that you are sinless?”
The Bhagat respectfully replied with a Ginan verse, remembered approximately as:
“Eji jene darshan didha Shah tana,
Tena paap gaya bhavobhav tana.”
He explained:
“Mowla Bapa, the Ginan says that whoever receives the Darshan of the Shah has their sins removed through bhavobhav. Therefore, after receiving your Didar, I am sinless.”
Mowlana smiled…
and said:
“You are right.”
STOP HERE AND THINK…
If Didar gives us a new beginning, then imagine that Mowla has placed a completely blank page in our hands.
No old writing.
No old grudges.
No old hatred.
A NEW PAGE.
Now the question is:
WHAT WILL YOU WRITE ON IT?
Will you write anger?
Arguments?
Jealousy?
Complaints?
Or will you write:
LOVE
FORGIVENESS
PRAYERS FOR OTHERS
KINDNESS
CHARITY
GOOD DEEDS
PEACE
Before Didar, forgive.
After Didar, don’t go looking for old enemies.
Before Didar, pray for yourself.
After Didar, pray for the whole Jamat.
Before Didar, ask Mowla for blessings.
After Didar, become a blessing for someone else.
Because the most important question is not:
“Did I receive Didar?”
The question is:
“WHAT DIDAR DID TO ME?”
The Didar may have opened a new chapter in our lives.
Now let us make sure we don’t write the same old story on the new page.
DIDAR IS A BLESSING.
WHAT WE DO AFTER DIDAR IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
This story is also found in “Pyara Imamni Pyari Vato” by Sairab Turabi.

Not sure because it is obviously on a stage for Didar but nowadays there is no individual decoration of the stage so we can not identify.ashraf59 wrote: Thu Sep 17, 2026 11:08 amAdmin,INDIA VISIT 2026: Saanvi Lalani presentedf a flower to Mowla Bapa

I remember fondly when our volunteers were working tirelessly on building stages with meaning such as Al-Azhar decors for which Shah Karim made special farmans and special blessings. Now no special stage and no special blessings. Same with cake cutting ceremony, there were countless jokes and happy moments of Imam cutting the cake during Didar. So many moments of happiness lost and missed opportunity for special blessing.

In the beginning of his Hyderabad Farman Hazar Imam talked about the conspiracy to get him back soon and he hopes it will succeed! I think this is about the invitation to attend the Global Summit there.
