Prince Quli Qutb Shah saw the beautiful while returning from a shikaar and fell in love with her at first sight.She was a Hindu and a commoner by birth so his father, the king disapproved of the match. When the prince was prevented from meeting his beloved and kept under house arrest he crossed the barriers in his fort, swam across the Moussi river on a stormy night to keep his promise to Bhagmati. After seeing this the king not only gave him permission to meet Bhagmati but also built a bridge across the river for the prince’s safe journey to the other end.The prince later married her. It’s even said that the prince named his city Bhagyanagar -which was later changed to modern-day Hyderabad.
