Kasur Brahmananda Reddy National Park , is a national park located in Jubilee Hills in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The park has an approximate area of 390-acre (1.6 km2). The park also houses the famous Chiran Palace, a 24-acre (0.097 km2) palace complex. It is located centrally in Jubilee Hills and is described as a jungle amidst the concrete jungle.it has many peacocks

The entire palace complex area was declared as a National park by the Andhra Pradesh state government after getting permission from the central government in the year 1998. This gave control of major part of the land to the forest department and the Nizam was left with the control of only about 11 acres. As the time passed the control of the Nizam was further reduced to the present less than six acre. Further the park was renamed to Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park with only the palace building being referred to as Chiran palace.

In June 2010 the Prince and his representatives reached an agreement with the state government to exchange Chiran Palace and 16 other pieces of his property scattered over the national park with six acres of land on the north-west corner of the park. This land would not be considered the part of the National park and thus will not provide access to forest officials and visitors to the park. All the properties on the land, including the Chiran palace would be notified as part of the national park and the land to be handed out to the prince was struck out of the park.

This agreement received the approval of The Indian Board of Wildlife, Supreme Court and the central government
