The Seetharambagh is an ancient temple located in Mangalhat, a suburb of Hyderabad. Built by Seth Puranmal Ganeriwala, a banker for the Nizams of Hyderabad and a member of the Ganeriwala family, the temple was constructed in Mallepally, which was then a village on the city's outskirts. The temple grounds originally featured six wells, though one is now defunct. To support this, Nizam Nasir-ud-Doula granted revenue from two villages in Berar as a jagir. Spanning 25 acres and surrounded by a 20-foot wall, the temple provided protection from Razakars during the late 1940s. It is classified as a heritage building by INTACH.
