Erum (name)
Erum (Arabic: إرَم ''ʾIram'', Persian: إرَم ''ʾEram'') is a Muslim name meaning "Paradise" or "Heaven" in English. It is variously romanised as Irum, Iram, Errum, and Eyrom In Persian folklore the name is also used in the story of King Shaddad, who wanted to compete with God and said that he would create ''Bāgh-e Eram'' ("Heaven on Earth"). To create this garden he used up all his wealth and power, even stealing from the poor. He made it so beautiful that it was said to have fountains of wine and milk, and rocks made of the most precious gems that one could ever imagine. His cruelty is said to have upset God and God decided to punish him, so that he would never lay eyes on Erum. Just when Shaddad was about to enter the gates of Erum he tripped on the steps and died on the spot.

It was built around the year 1870 by Nawab Safdar Jung Musheer-ud-daula Fakhrul Mulk, a nobleman of Hyderabad state. It is located on top of a hillock off the Khairatabad - Panjagutta road. History The mansion is located atop a hillock known as Erragadda or "red hill" in the native Telugu language. For this reason, nawab Fakhrul Mulk decided to name the new palace "Iram Manzil" (Persian language, Persian for 'Paradise Mansion'), because the Persian word 'Iram' meaning 'Paradise' sounds like "Erram," the Telugu language, Telugu word for "red." He also got the building painted a shade of red in order to emphasize the link, and so you had the red-coloured Erra Manzil on top of Erragadda hill. The nawab intended that the mansion be known by two similar-sounding names: 'Iram Manzil' for the Persian-friendly Muslim nobility of the state and 'Erram Manzil' for the local Telugu people.
