.
The road on the Tank Bund was very narrow during Nizam's era and was widened in 1946 when Sir Mirza Ismail was the prime minister of Hyderabad Deccan. Further widening and beautification of the Tank Bund took place during 1987-88 with the addition of fountains with dancing waters, tantalising coloured lights at night, and the installation of nearly 33 well-sculptured bronze statues mounted on high platforms, in the memory of historical and eminent personalities of Hyderabad State and Andhra Pradesh.

Famous quotes containing the words landmarks and, landmarks and/or attractions:
“The lives of happy people are dense with their own doings—crowded, active, thick.... But the sorrowing are nomads, on a plain with few landmarks and no boundaries; sorrow’s horizons are vague and its demands are few.”
—Larry McMurtry (b. 1936)
“Of all the bewildering things about a new country, the absence of human landmarks is one of the most depressing and disheartening.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“The world,—this shadow of the soul, or other me, lies wide around. Its attractions are the keys which unlock my thoughts and make me acquainted with myself. I run eagerly into this resounding tumult. I grasp the hands of those next to me, and take my place in the ring to suffer and to work, taught by an instinct, that so shall the dumb abyss be vocal with speech.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
