On April 13, 2021, I visited some of the best places to visit in Hyderabad in Summer i.e., Hussain Sagar and Lumbini Park. I visited Tank Bund Road too which is considered as one of the long drive places in Hyderabad.
Why Hussain Sagar can be considered as one of the historical places in Hyderabad?
Hussain Sagar is not only one of the best places to visit in Hyderabad but it can also be considered as one of the historical places in Hyderabad because it was built by the fourth ruler of the Golconda Kingdom Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah in 1563. It was named after Master of Architecture Hussain Shah Wali.
Lumbini Park to buddha statue at Tank Bund
People who visit Tank Bund i.e. Hussain Sagar will always desire to visit the Buddha statue located at the center of the lake. In 1992, it was added to one of the best tourist places in Hyderabad. It is the largest monolithic statue of Gautam Buddha in the country.
Under the guidance of Ganapati Stapathi, it was carved out of a single granite rock by 40 sculptures. The height of the statue is 17 meters whereas, its weight is 320 tons.
