Sunset seen from the Hussain sagar lake
Worlds largest monolithic Buddha statue on a lotus base.
Some carvings on the platform.
Moon beside the statue.
Another view of the moon and the statue.
The statue lit up with artificial color lights.
The street lights reflecting on the lake water. Not sure if this is the Necklace road. There is a necklace road in this area which they said looks beautiful at night not sure if this is the one.
Try to go there in the evening to escape the heat and also to see the statue in color lights. Nice way to spend an evening in Hyderabad. The Mechanized boat drops you at the rock and goes back. You can take any other boat while going back. The frequency is good so the wait time is very less.
