About

Hussain Sagar lies between Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The district administration says it was built in 1562, during the reign of Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah, on a tributary of the Musi, and named after Hussain Shah Wali.

A standing statue of the Buddha in white granite rises from the middle of the lake. Indira Park, Sanjeevaiah Park and Lumbini Park border the lake, and boats run to the statue.
