Hussain Sagar
Hussain Sagar is a lake built by Hazrat Husain Shah Wali on a tributary of the Musi during the time of that great builder Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah in 1562 to meet the water and irrigation needs of the city. This was much before the historic Charminar overshadowed every other landmark in the city. It is now popularly known as Tank Bund, a truncated version of its original expanse, and has acquired trappings and environs that enhance its appeal to tourists as well as the citizens of the twin cities.
The Buddha statue located in the centre of the lake is a major attraction. Boat rides are provided by the tourism department.
