The river Musi and its southern bank where the garden belongs to Nawab Salar Jang Bahadur covering an extensive area and to the right side of it, Itibar Chauk Road clearly showed on the map. The river Musi, a tributary of the Krishna, originating from the Ananthagiri Hills near Vikarabad, is famous as much as Hyderabad famous. The original city of Hyderabad was founded on the southern bank of river Musi by Muhammed Quli Qutb Shah in 1591 A.D, and over the centuries, the city has grown into both banks of the river. The old city lies on its southern bank, which was the seat of power till the 7th the Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Khan. Also, the people of Hyderabad will never forget it due to the recurrent floods, and the worst one occurred in 1908, which led to the reorganization of the city itself by the Nizam. Subsequently, the Nizam shifted his residence, since then the city center saw a shift into the northern banks in particular. So, the role of Musi is inevitable for the city of Hyderabad both positively as well as negatively, not only in the past but also at the present too, in the forms of canals and dams constructed over it for the distribution of water.
The Salar Jang was famous aristocratic family, one amongst Umra-e-Uzzam group, well known as the prime ministers of the Nizams of Hyderabad.

The Nawab Mir Yusuf Ali Khan, who popularly known as Salar Jang III was responsible for the foundation of famous Salar Jang Museum itself. Here, the garden might be either belong to one of the Salar Jang or part of the family estate. And across the Itibar Chauk Road on both sides, such a thickly inhabited area is visible.
