Yakutpura is a traditional neighbourhoods in the Old City, Hyderabad in Telangana state, India. With a population of 6,3350 inhabitants, the size of the area is about 5.7 square kilometers.[1]
Named by the Nizam of Hyderabad, the word Ya·kut (yä-koot), from Yakutpura, is derived from the Persian word Yakut meaning the precious stone "ruby."
Hyderabad is known as the "City of Pearls". During the era of the 7th Nizam (Mir Osman Ali Khan), the Hyderabad State was a business market of gems and pearls. Yakutpura was one of the parts of the Nizam's State and hence its name was coined. A part of Yakutpura is also called Brahmin-wadi where Brahmins live.[citation needed]
