This statue is said to be one of the largest monolith in the world. Breathtaking view of Hussain Sagar Lake from Tank Bund is breathtaking which also attracts many to the place. It is spectacular especially in night, when the lights around the statue are switched on.

Some of these sculpture are of Sri Krishnadevaraya, Nannaya, Tikkana, Yerrapragada,Annamayya, Alluri Seetharama Raju, Raghupathi Venkataratnam Naidu, Molla, Tripuraneni Ramaswamy Chowdary etc. These statues were created in the memory of a few prominent personalities of the state including many renowned poets from Telugu literature, great writers, rulers, social workers and freedom fighters.

3 starsGo to tank bund in morning, trust me you will love it. this place is very peaceful in morning. Less vehicles, no pollution and fresh air. In evenings, it is crowded, and too much pollution, because of the traffic from secunderabad, abids and other places. I go to tank band for walks usually, it is nice to look at the lake during sunrise. This place is beautiful in mornings.

3 starsThe most important statue of Tank Bund is the statue of Buddha. It looks awesome in night, when lights are on, different colours of light makes the statue looks even bigger. In evening there is boat to the Buddha statue too from Lumbini park, everything is around tank bund itself. Overall a good place to go, will be better if they can maintain it a bit more.

3 starsTank Bund has many statues. There are about 33 statues of Telugu poets, writers, rulers and social workers. Every statue has some story behind it and is related to the history of the place. I couldn’t do much research on the history of tank bund statues, just glanced them while crossing tank bund when I visited Hyderabad last time. statues are intriguing, want to explore more about them.

3 starsI went to Tank Bund recently, this area looked nice with lake one side. There are many statues too. Tank bund basically connects the two cities, Secunderabad and Hyderabad. It was nice in afternoon but by evening the traffic increases, the road gets too busy and polluted. I guess it would be better to go in morning or late night.

2 starsTank bund is basically the stretch between Secunderabad and Hyderabad, it dams Hussain sagar lake and connects the twin city. Main attraction here is the tank bund statues. These were erected by the former cm of Andhra. There is nothing special about this place except the parks and lakes which are located nearby. Boating at the lake to reach the Buddha statue was an okay experience. Apart from that nothing much to do.

3 starsTank bund road and the area around look pleasant. This road is nicely maintained and kept very clean. This area is so much greener with parks around it and the Hussain sagar lake. I really liked this entire place, it has many statues of prominent personalities too. It is not at all like other cities where you can not find even a single stretch of green. It was refreshing break. But the time I went it was crowded with too many people. Wish to visit again when there are less number of people.
