Hussain Sagar is a lake in Hyderabad, India, assembled by Hazrat Hussain Shah Wali in 1562, amid the rule of Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah. It is spread over a territory of 5.7 square kilometers and is sustained by River Musi. A massive solid statue of the Gautama Buddha, raised in 1992 stands in an island amidst the lake. Maximum profundity of the lake is 16 meters.

Notwithstanding these, the State Tourism is giving new and better facilities like speed boats, motor boats and so on.
The Necklace Road is an alternate attraction which plots the outlines of the Hussain Sagar Lake, improving its excellence considerably more. Remaining on the water front during the evening, one is hypnotized by the flickering line of lights separating the lake that resembles a diamond studded necklace.

The old temple of Katta Maisamma, symbolizing ‘goddess of the dam’, is near this street and pulls a considerable measure of devotees consistently.
