Hussain Sagar Lake, also known as Hussain Lake, is a prominent waterbody located in the heart of Hyderabad, India. Spanning across an area of 5.7 square kilometers, the lake is a popular tourist destination and a major source of drinking water for the city. Built in 1562 by Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah, the founder of Hyderabad, the lake is named after Hussain Shah Wali, who helped in constructing it.
The lake boasts of a unique feature, a large monolithic statue of Gautama Buddha situated right in the middle of the lake on a small island called Buddha Purnima.
This stunning statue was installed in 1992 to commemorate the 2000th birth anniversary of Buddha. The lake is surrounded by a beautiful promenade, known as Tank Bund, which offers breathtaking views of the city and is a popular spot for evening walks.
Hussain Sagar Lake is not only an attraction for tourists but also an important part of the city's heritage and culture, making it a must-visit destination for anyone in Hyderabad.
The Tank Bund also houses the magnificent NTR Gardens, a memorial park dedicated to the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Other notable monuments include the striking Telangana Martyrs Memorial, paying homage to those who sacrificed their lives for the formation of the state, and the impressive Victory at Sea Memorial, commemorating the Indian Navy's victory in the 1971 Indo-Pak war. These monuments not only add to the charm of Tank Bund but also provide a glimpse into the rich cultural and historical heritage of the city. With its beautiful surroundings and magnificent monuments, Tank Bund is truly a must-visit destination for anyone looking to capture the essence of Hyderabad.
