Reason for naming Falaknuma Express:
Falaknuma Palace is one of the finest palaces in Hyderabad. It is located in Falaknuma, 5 km from the Charminar, and was built by Nawab Vikar-ul-Umra in 1884 – 1889, the then Prime Minister of Hyderabad. Falaknuma literally means "Star of Heaven" in Urdu.

I have a different opinion... Falak means SKY and Numa means Mirror.. therefore Falaknuma means "Mirror of the Sky"
