Hussain Sagar

About this place

A large artificial lake often experienced as a city-icon: promenades, viewpoints, and the famous Buddha statue on a mid-lake rock create a strong skyline moment. It’s popular for evening walks and city photography, and it visually links historic Hyderabad with modern urban expansion.

History & highlights

Created in 1562 by Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah as a water/irrigation work across a Musi tributary; named after Hussain Shah Wali, associated with its design. It served as a key water source before later reservoirs were built; the large Buddha statue was erected in 1992.
