Hussain Sagar Lake

The Hussain Sagar Lake being situated at a distance of approximately 1.5 kilometers from the city of Hyderabad stands out amongst the very limited number of man-made lakes in the country. It is by virtue of the Hussain Sagar Lake that the association between the cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad had been made feasible.

The radiance of the heavenly delectable locale of the Hussain Sagar Lake has been augmented by the auspicious presence of a stone representing Lord Buddha in the form of an obelisk or a column which weighs an unbelievable 350 tonnes, standing at a height of 16 meters and entirely made from granite.

The Hussain Sagar Lake is affectionately designated as 'Tank Bund'. It is recognized as one of the most sought after tourists hubs of Hyderabad.
