Hussain Sagar - Buddha !

                           An 18 meter high monolithic statue of Lord Buddha towers over the lake from atop the Rock of Gibraltar. The road on the Tank-Bund which originally was very narrow was widened in 1946 when Sir Mirza Ismail was the Prime Minister of Hyderabad. Further widening and beautification of the Tank-Bund took place during 1987-88 with the addition of fountains with dancing waters. It was carved by 200 sculptors for two years.

The lake is considered as a beach of Hyderabad. It is getting spoiled by the chemicals used to make Ganesh idols which are being immersed in the lake after vinayaka chaturthi festival.
