The artificial lake is a historical landmark, built during the reign of Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah in 1562 by damming the Musi. This forms the boundary between Hyderabad and Secunderabad. Surrounding the lake are various parks, temples, statues and historical buildings. This is one of the few walkable places in the city. At the centre of the lake stands a famous 18m high statue of the Buddha installed in 1992. Boat rides to the Buddha statue are available from Eat Street (near Necklace Road MMTS Station) and Lumbini Park. Speed boats do not stop at the Buddha statue. The road circling the lake on the north and west is known as Necklace Road, and is nicknamed "the Chaupati of Hyderabad" due to its resemblance to the Girgaon Chowpatty in South Mumbai.

Built by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu in memory of N.T. Rama Rao, his father-in-law and ex-Chief Minister, this is an amusement park which houses some nice attractions like a mini-train, a haunted house, a boat ride, etc. There is a cafe where the seating is in the shape of vintage cars. You can either spend money on the rides or generally stroll around and gape at the fountains and the giant insects. For rides, the ₹ 45 combo you can buy at the entrance is a good deal.
