Mehboob ki Mehendi is a neighbourhood in Hyderabad, Telangana, India.[1] It was a mujra joint, a time honoured tradition of music and dance, during the reign of the Nizams in Hyderabad State.
It got its name after a Chilla of Mahboob Subhani, where the mujras were popular. Noted courtesan, Mah Laqa Bai, was present here. The courtesans and other performing artistes held a respectable position in Hyderabad before Aurangzeb's reign.
