History

Established as a Farming community on the banks of Northern side of Musi River in the 18th Century, Amberpet got its name from the famous Islamic Sufi Saint His Holiness Hazrath Amber Miyan(RA), who is also believed to be one of the advisors for Emperor Aurangzeb (Moghuls) for this part of Golkonda dynasty at that time.

The Mazar-e-Shareef is located right on the main road, which draws crowd from all over the place on its annual Urs Shareef. Many believe that this place, once barren, was miraculously propagated and populated into dense forest, fruit-growing fields, after His Holiness Hazrath Amber Miyan (ra) made this place his final destination.

Amberpet boasts of cultural heritage dating back to the period of Mughals in India. There is one Jama Masjid located right on the Main road and opposite to the Dargah-Shareef. This Mosque too, like other heritage sites, is a splendid architectural wonder of the great Qutub- Shahi era.
