Hyderabad: Indira Devi Dhanraj Gir, painter, writer and poetess, and a familiar face in Hyderabad’s cultural life, passed away on Tuesday evening at Gyan Bagh Palace in the city. She was 96. Final rites will be performed at Amberpet on Wednesday morning.

“She lived through history and wrote from experience,” said Anuradha Reddy, the convenor of Intach-Hyderabad, recalling Indira Devi’s place in the city’s cultural memory. “She was the right person to write because her family history and her own life were part of Hyderabad’s history.”

 

 

 

 

Daughter of Raja Dhanraj Gir, one of the leading nobles in the Nizam’s court, Indira Devi belonged to a lineage long associated with court culture, philanthropy and letters. She was the wife of late poet Guntur Seshendra Sarma and spent most of her life at an eight-acre Gyan Bagh Palace, also known as Dhanraj Gir Palace, a 165-year-old estate that remains one of the few surviving symbols of Hyderabad’s aristocratic past
