Sultan Bazar is an old commercial market in Hyderabad, Telangana, India.[1] It lies between the commercial areas of Abids and Koti. The area occupied by Sultan Bazaar was part of what was earlier known as Residency Bazaars. The bazaars developed during colonial times along with the construction of the British Residency.[2] Sultan Bazaar was previously under the control of British and was handed over to control of Nizam in 14 June, 1933.
