16. BUDDHA STATUE

The Buddha Statue of Hyderabad is the world's tallest monolith of Gautama Buddha.

 N. T. Rama Rao during his tenure chose to depict Gautama Buddha because "he was a humanitarian who told the whole truth to the people. It is our pride." 

For over a year, hundreds of laborers helped the temple architect and builder S.M.Ganapathi Sthapati created the statue. After five years and the expenditure of US$3 million, the statue stood at 58 feet (18 m) and weighed 350 tons, making it the world's tallest monolithic statue of the Buddha.

This statue is located at Lumbini Park in the Hussain Sagar Island can be reached by boat in 15 minutes.

It is one of the main tourist attractions in Hyderabad, Telangana.

Visiting at the night time gives anyone the best experience with the lights and full moon. There is laser show as well for enjoyment of the tourists but we need to be there on time :) This is really a good place to spend with your family and friends :)

Thank you, everyone, for stopping by 
and 
I hope you all have a good day :)
