From
a long time it was curious for some people to find out why the Hyderabadi
people like coming and gathering in Hussein Sagar lake ? What speciality has this place? Everyone
knows the fact that, Hyderabad is full of attractive places to visit , however this
place appealed more and more that day and night crowded with people. Definitely
, all these recreationals here like Buddha Statue, various type of boating,
greenery surrounding that one can make picnic , outing with family or friends,
cruising are unrejectable enjoyable
facts that people come to this lake in spite of that it is artificial. But
majority of population of Hyderabad come to refresh their mind and themselves,
to sit and walk around the lake ,particularly night time it is more beautiful
and crowded. As well as, the more
information I revealed about Hussein Sagar , the more tremendously it referred to the history. It came out that, it is not just a simple
lake.
Hussain
Sagar lake is the largest heart shaped mark among the marks : 78 heart shaped
lakes and 9 heart shaped islands on the face of the earth. The lake has
international remarkable appreciation throughout the world, becoming the symbol
of love as it is heart shaped spot. It express the wonder, discover of love
among the nations .
A
heritage of India was declared as Heart of the World by UNWTO on 27 September
2012, on the occasion of World Tourism Day, for being the world largest heart
shaped mark. Logo for the “Heart of the World “ was inaugurated by H.E Mr Taleb
Rifai, Secretary- General, United Nations World Tourism Organization. (UNWTO),
Madrid-Spain, in the year 2013.
The real story of establishing this beautiful
heritage is much appealing. The heart shaped man-made lake was build during the reign of 😉Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah. The king built
this lake for the purpose of drinking water and irrigation showing his deep
love towards his nation. He appointed one
of his subordinate at the same time relative Hussain Shah Wali to control the
construction of the artificial lake.
The
lake initially constructed to provide a drinking water to a people but it is
not used as a drinking water source since 1930. It was named after Hazrath
Hussain Shawali – Sufi saint medical practitioner and architect of the lake ,
to express gratitude for the Hussain’s
treatment that was given to the king during
his sickness and made him recover from sickness.
The uniqueness of the lake lies in the fact
that it connects the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad.. It has been bordered
by India Park, Sanjeevai ah Park and Lumbini Park; the lake present the setting
quite rare to find in the middle of any city. In
The
most significant attraction of the Sagar lake is 😅the Statue of Buddha on the
Gibraltar Rock. This Buddha is the world
tallest monolithic stone statue Gautama Buddha located in Hyderabad. It stands
over a concrete platform measuring 15 feet tall as “the Rock of Gibraltar” was constructed in
the middle of Hussain Sagar to aid on erecting the statue. The statue was
constructed by Sri N.T Rama Rao- Prime Minister of Andhra Pradesh at that time
between 1983 to 1989. The idea of building the statue came to his mind when he
was visited New York and saw astonishing beauty of Statue of Liberty. Which
after decided to build such symbol in Hyderabad as well for the development of
culture and it will be his contribution to Indian society. His words sounded
priceless when he said about Buddha:☝ “he was a humanitarian, who told the whole
truth to the people as will always be the pride of Indian culture for he preached
peace”.
Though there were some unpleasant cases with
the Buddha Statue at that time , nowadays it is the most favorite fascinating place of the people.
To the list of interesting and enjoyable
things in H. Sagar includes various types of boating such as speed boating,
motor boating , parasailing and etc. Lake and its environs have several scenic
spots. The roads around the lake Tank- Bund or nice Necklace Road shared the
beauty of the lake, especially at night you stuck by tiny sparkle of the raw of
lights outlining the lake.
Given
these points, it’s important to realize that Hussain Sagar is a location people
always select to spend their time with pleasure. Particularly, beautiful
gardens on both sides, decorated foot path and benches draw attention and
habitually these places are busy in the evenings. Because people regularly come here to see the
view of illuminated night, breath fresh air. ☝👀They say, together with these all
it is a perfect place for sitting and thinking about life, world. Thus ever
most of the working people in returning to their homes once visit this space.
Just because they like it. And in the evenings you can find young generation
who are having fun around Hussain Sagar . Just because they like it. There are
33 attractive spots in the State of Andhra Pradesh , but Hussain Sagar is
special one.💓💓💓
