Kutub Khana Asefiyah was established in 1891 in Hyderabad to promote knowledge and literature. It housed rare books in Arabic, Persian, and Urdu from around the world. Maulvi Syed Hussain Bilgrami Nawab Imad-ul-Mulk initially established the library, but it was rebuilt in 1936 as the Asefiyah Central Library. It was inaugurated by Nawab Asif Jah VII Mir Osman Ali Khan Bahadur.

The library was a treasure trove of knowledge for the Hyderabad state, with a unique collection of books of exceptional quality and importance. Scholars from around the world used to visit the library to study the rare and priceless books. The building itself was a model of Muslim architecture, with its high ceilings, colorful glasses, and grills on the windows. It was said that the architecture of the building was based on the model of a book.
