Lumbini Park is situated on the Tank Bund road of Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh. A beautifully adorned park, it lies on the verge of the serene Hussein Sagar Lake. The majestic monolithic structure of the Buddha amidst the placid blue waters of the Hussein Sagar is best viewed from Lumbini Park. With the state Secretariat and the beautiful Birla Mandir forming the backdrop, the park offers a tranquil view.

The decor of the Lumbini Park is a kaleidoscope in itself. The colorful landscaping with winding pathways, flower beds, exotic variety of plants, rocks and pebbles and peaceful shady bowers attracts tourists from all over the country and abroad. At the main entrance, a large floral clock welcomes you to the park and at once you know what beauty awaits you inside. The clock is made of bright blooms and a variety of grass planted on the ground in the pattern of a clock. It shows real time and the patterns change from time to time with the change of seasons.

The spotlight in Lumbini Park is, however, on the musical fountain that amazingly dances to the melodious tunes, twice a day after sundown. Flooded in a spectrum of colors the fountain is flocked by people mostly at these times of the day. Maintained by the Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (HUDA), Lumbini Park provides various recreational facilities for the children, the young people and the oldies alike. Open spaces, cool breeze, a beautiful view, waterfalls, charming trails, eating joints and comfortable seating arrangements together with a clean environment offer a beautiful option for the peace-loving visitors. The park is also provided with a vestibule to enjoy a boat ride in the waters of Hussein Sagar bringing you closer to the massive structure of the Buddha.
