Buddha standing proud

Hyderabad has one of the worlds largest freestanding stone Buddha statues. It is a fairly recent creation and work only began about 20 years ago. It is about 18 M high and it can be seen from almost any place in the area. It was transported from the city on a barge and during the transportation of the statue the barge sank killing eight people. The statue laid under water for two years until local authorites raised it from under the water unharmed, amazing. You can get boats to the platform for around 20 rupees but it is probably best enjoyed from the banks at sunset.

Beautiful temple made of white marble.
It's really magnificent, it gives you peace just looking at it and lighten by the sun really stands out from the surrounding.

Taking photos or filming is not allowed and all the cameras have to be left in the small office under surveillance, before entering the temple.
Shoes have to be left outside the temple in small house with lockers.

IMAX

The opening of IMAX theater in Hyderabad marks an evolution in movie watching. Long awaited in this city where movies still seem to be the first and best source of entertainment for the common man.

Once upon a time, Maheshwari theater in Kachiguda used to be the best of all when it came to cinema. Then Sangeeth in Secunderabad gave the taste of latest sound techniques like Dolby and DTS. Now comes IMAX - arguably the best in the town, which has at least one show every one hour between 11 am to 10 pm everyday.

This place boasts of the world's largest 3-D IMAX screen. It has five 70 mm screens along with the IMAX screen. Apart from movies, the multiplex also has food courts and shopping malls that are spread over three floors. The entire multiplex is centrally air-conditioned one.

Ticket prices are Rs. 125 for IMAX and Rs. 60 for the regular screen.

the view is beautiful in the evening - this road is made on the Hussain Sagar Lake.... along this road there are statues of imminent persons of Andhra Pradesh. In the lake you will see a huge statue of Buddha. It is a great place to be especially in the evenings.

Husain Sagar Lake and Lumbini Park
Husain Sagar lake is the main attraction of Hyderabad....

This huge lake has a statue of Buddha at its heart...this several feet tall statue was submerged in the lake during its installation

You get a boat ride around this statue!!!

Lumbini Park
Lumbini Park is also a must visit place because of its musical fountains.....a nice place to relax in the evening after tiring out the whole day.

Its open on Sundays....why need to mention it??? Market is closed on Sundays in Hyderabad


Tank Bund Road
This is a road which goes by the side of the lake...This is the best place to go for walks during night after dinner or early in the morning....

The unique thing about this road is its not only traffic place...but has beautifully carved statues on its both sides....the statues of the saint in AndhraPradesh and the people who have added riches to Telugu Literature...

Telugu is the language of state of AndhraPradesh!!!

The Huge statue that can be seen in different photos and pitures of Hyderabad is a Buddhe Statue in the centre of the Lank called as Hussein Sagar or Locally Known as Tank Bund.

This is approachable with a short boat ride from Lumbini Park and takes about 510 mins o the centre.
