Hyderabad city boasts some of the finest gardens in the country. One of the city's oldest and largest garden is located in the centre of the city. It was built in the year 1846 by Nizam Government. No wonder then that it is one of the most frequented spots for school picnics. This beautifully laid out garden also houses two museums the A P State Archaelogical Museum and the Health Museum, a park where kids can play, a mini school (Jawahar Bal Bhavan) for children to learn fine arts, and an auditorium (the Indira Gandhi Auditorium). The Jubilee Hall, the Lalitha Kala Thoranam (an open-air theater which is a venue for many film festivals, fashion shows and beauty pageants), the building of the Department of Horticulture and a mosque are the other fascinating places in the premises.

Beside this garden the beautiful white structure is the Andhra Pradesh Assembly building with green lawns. In 1985 a New Legislative Assembly hall was inagurated by the then Prime Minister of India Late Sri. Rajiv Gandhi.

Recently the government has added a huge statue of Mahatma Gandhi sitting in the praying posture looks peaceful for all. The statue adds to the beauty of the park.
