Amber is an Urdu word refer to as Asmaan i.e. Sky. Although, it also has mention in the Arabic scriptures, with similar names and meaning attributed to ambergis (Perfume of Heavens). Amberpet lies adjacent to the famous Osmania University built by the then Ruler of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali Khan Bahadur [CBE]. Its area stretches from Kachiguda to Ramanthapur in the East, and from Vidyanagar to Azadnagar in the South. The Civil Police Lines Special Armed Reserve of the Andhra Pradesh Police Academy is situated in the midst of its sprawling campus extending from the Dargah Shareef to the inner areas of the Ranga Reddy District [District]. Amberpet was largely famous for the spread-over open markets sprouted all over the area catering to the household needs of people from all the nearby places at very affordable prices. Now, these have been replaced by many supermarkets and other allied dairy & poultry establishments.
There are many Irani cafes in the area. In the 2009 Assembly & Parliamentary Elections, Amberpet was made a separate constituency which was earlier a part of Himayathnagar constituency. There are adjoining areas also with names such as DD Colony, Bagh-Amberpet, and many more.
Established as a farming community on the banks of northern side of Musi river in the 18th Century, Amberpet lent its name to the famous Sufi Saint Hazrat Amber Baba, who is also believed to be one of the advisers to Mughal Emperor Aurangazeb at that time. The Dargah of Hazrat Amber baba is located right on the main road, which draws crowd from all over the place on its annual Urs. Many believe that this place, once barren, was miraculously propagated and populated into dense forest, fruit-growing fields, after Sufi Saint Amber baba made this place his final destination. Once a sub-urban area, this place has turned into a major hub for trade and Educational Institutes. Many Masjids belonging to the Qutub Shahi Era line up the main road leading to Warangal. Major among them is the Qutub Shahi Masjid at Amberpet.
