Palace restoration
Princess Esra is credited with the restoration of Chowmahalla Palace[when?] and Falaknuma Palace.[3][better source needed] The former was opened to the public while the latter was leased as a luxury hotel to the Taj Group.
She appointed architect Rahul Mehrotra to restore the Chowmahalla Palace.[4]
She initiated a project for the royal palaces in August 2000. The restoration project for Chowmahalla Palace involved tasks ranging from stabilising the existing structural components to reconstitution of collapsed and dilapidated sections of the complex, restoration of external and internal spaces and decorative elements and finishes.[citation needed]
Donation to Yadadri temple
On behalf of the Nizam Family,[5] she donated a gold chain worth Rs 6 lakh to the Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, Yadadri. The gold necklace was handed over to the temple Executive Officer Geetha by Yadagirigutta Temple Development Authority (YTDA) vice-chairman Kishan Rao.[6][7]
