The state had borders with the [[Madras Presidency]] to the south, the [[Bombay Presidency]] to the west and [[Berar]] and the [[Central Provinces]] to the north. Its capital was the city of [[Hyderabad]]: immediately to the capital's north lay [[Secunderabad]], a city in its own right and a military cantonment under direct British rule. Collectively, the two were often referred to as the 'Twin Cities'.
There were also other military cantonment under direct British rule. Records of baptisms, marriages and burials which occurred in the cantonments under British rule, will be found in the usual sources. At least for some periods these cantonments were regarded as part of the Madras Presidency.
