The Hussain Sagar lake
which links the twin cities of Hyderabad was built in 1562 A.D.Recently,
33 statues of the famous personalities of the state were installed
along the bund. The well laid out Lumbini park located
in the Buddha Purnima project has Musical fountain.
Under the umbrella of the
clear blue sky, caressed by the strong cool breeze and embraced on one
side by the Hussain Sagar
lake, the Lepakshi center stands elegantly on the tankbund road as a
reminiscent of the historic
Amaravathi stupa.

ARCH ON TANK BUND
This is the welcome arch
at the beginning of Tank Bund on the Hyderabad - side/ end of the Hussain
Sagar lake. The majestic
white arch stands high and immaculate into the bluish white sky beckoning
the motorists a free and
easy passage on the wide long stretch of the Tank Bund. The two lions
standing straight in support
of the roof of the arch beside the pillars and the tapered dome with
globular design akin to
pinnacles on top are all styled after the traditional Hindu temple designs,
much
like the "simha dwaram"
(the lion grateway)
