Tourist Attractions
Hussain Sagar
Hussain Sagar Lake was built in 16th century by Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah in appreciation of Hussain Shah Wali, who is believed to have been the force behind its unique heart - shaped design.. Hussain Sagar was built across a tributary of the Musi river in 1563 by Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah. The lake was named after Hussain Shah Wali, who was the Master of Architecture in the Kingdom. It is an artificial lake that holds water perennially fed by canals from Musi river. During the rule of Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah, the artificial lake was built by Sufi Saint Hussain Shah, to meet the drinking water and irrigation requirements of the city. The lake holds immense historical significance because the treaty between Mughals and Golconda was settled on its banks. Later, in the 1990s, a ‘Bund’ (Dam) was constructed to control the flow of water, which is why the lake is also referred to as the ‘Tank Bund’ by the locals.
