A multi-faceted personality renowned for her multi-lingual skills, mellifluous voice and dancing, she was also an accomplished archer and horse woman. Known to be brave, she participated in all the three wars fought by Nizam Ali Khan, Asaf Jah the II. The Nizam conferred upon her the title of Mah Laqa, meaning Visage of the Moon along with the jagir or estate of Adikmet and other honours.
Mah Laqa Bai Chanda was a socially conscious and enlightened woman who returned her debt to society by establishing a residential institution to provide less privileged girls educational opportunities and impart cultural training, a concept unique for those times.
