Lumbini Park is one of the beautiful parks in the twin cities Hyderabad and Secunderabad located along the banks of Hussain Sagar Lake. Lumbini Park is a part of the Buddha Poornima project developed by the Hyderabad Urban Development Authority in 1994 and since then, it has become an ideal place of relaxation and a place of amusement. The park has been named after the garden that was the birth place of Siddharth, the later day Buddha. It is a hit with kids and families and has several attractions that could lure you to spend an evening away from home, with your family.
The main attractions of the park include a colourful floral clock, waterfalls and fountains. The spectacular musical dancing fountain and water cascade draws huge crowds. Normally, during summer time, three shows are organised. However, due to the upgradation work being taken up by the Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (HUDA), currently the musical fountain show and the clock has been put off temporarily. In this park every day organize a musical fountain show at 6.30 evening. The fountains dance to the tunes of popular numbers from Hindi and Telugu film songs. This is one of the must see sight and almost the park is crowded with visitors and picnickers.
The Lumbini Park at Hyderabad is beautifully decorated with seasonal flowering plants, rock, pebbles and cacti accompanied by neatly laid pathways for strollers. It also has large trees, which provide good shade at the same time filling the area with greenery. On one side of the Lumbini Park is the office of the State Secretariat and on the other side is the serene Hussain Sagar lake and the exotic Birla Mandir majestically standing on the hilltop.
