Abstract

The sultans of Qutb Shahi ruled in Deccan from 1518 to 1687. Its founder was Sultan Mohammad Qoli qutb Shah. After the establishment of the Safavid state in Iran, they officially declared themselves Shiites, and Sultan Mohammad removed the sermon in the name of the caliphs and recited the sermon in the name of Ismail, the founder of the Safavid dynasty. Qutb Shahi has always been on their official agenda. And this helped a lot in the development of Shiite culture, which also created a great influence on the Iranian language, literature, culture and architecture. It is on the day of Tasua and Ashura. For this purpose, places called Ashurakhaneh were built, and in this article has been introduced the oldest and largest one in Hyderabad, which was built by Qutb Shahian, . It should be noted that most of the contents of this article are the result of the author's observations and for this reason little resources have been used
