Visitors to the new tourist circuit around the Hussain Sagar could not have missed it. Absent from the gaiety surrounding the 10th Telangana State Formation Day celebrations is the musical fountain near the Lumbini Park, between the brightly illuminated State Secretariat and the new Martyrs’ Memorial.
Publicised as India’s biggest, the 180-metre long, 10-metre wide and about 90-metre tall floating fountain could enthral viewers hardly for two months since its installation in February, just before the Formula-E racing event.
The water spout amid the Hussian Sagar lake, with 800 high-powered nozzles and 880 underwater LED lights and spray jets ranging between 12-90 metres, attracted hordes of watchers since day one.
