the main entrance, there's a small tank and a screen that leads to the main structure. As we move towards the main structure, we come across lush green lawns, flower gardens and fountains all along the pathway. The pathway is also laced with flower pots and trees. The entire stucture is made of marble and carries wonderful flower designs on its panels.

Situated in Begumpura, at a distance of around 6.5 km from railway station and 5 km from MSRTC Central Bus Stand. Take metered auto-rickshaws and insist on a tariff card before you board.
