Set picturesquely on a plinth in the Hussain Sagar, a lake created by the Qutb Shahs, is one of the world’s largest free-standing stone Buddha statues (18m tall). It's an especially magnificent sight when illuminated at night.
Frequent boats make the 30-minute return trip to the statue from both Eat Street and popular Lumbini Park . The Tankbund Rd promenade, on the eastern shore of Hussain Sagar, has great views of the statue.
