Hyderabad: Prince Rahim Aga Khan V, the 50th hereditary Imam of the Shia Nizari Ismaili Muslims, arrived in Hyderabad on Monday, September 14, on the last day of his week-long tour of India.
This is Prince Rahim’s first visit to India since he assumed office as the 50th Imam of the Ismaili community.
Upon his arrival, Khan was received by Telangana Minorities Minister Mohammed Azharuddin and Telangana Minorities Residential Educational Institutions Society (TGMREIS) president Faheem Quraishi.
Following his arrival in India on September 9, Khan met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Droupadi Murmu on September 10.
Prince Rahim became the 50th hereditary Imam of the Nizari Ismaili Muslims in February 2025 following the death of his father, Prince Karim Al-Hussaini Aga Khan IV, in accordance with the community’s traditional succession practices.
The Ismaili community traces its history back more than 1,400 years and has maintained allegiance to a living hereditary spiritual leader. Ismailis are spread across more than 35 countries worldwide.
