Necklace Road (Telugu: నెక్లెస్ రోడ్, Urdu: نكلس رؤد ) is a boulevard in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, adjoining the Hussain Sagar lake, which connects NTR Gardens to Sanjeevaiah Park. The road from Sanjivaiah park connects to the Tankbund road which in turn connects to the NTR Gardens completing a circle. This stretch of road, along with the Tank Bund, appears in the form of a necklace as seen from the sky - and hence the name.
This boulevard is complete with beautiful lawns, restaurants, recreational facilities and good views of the city of Hyderabad. People's plaza, located on this boulevard is a recreational area which is busy all throughout the year with exhibitions, music shows, sports and games etc. Eat Street and Water Front are two well known restaurants, the latter which offers more of buffets and a variety of cuisines, whereas the former is more of a fast food joint. Both these joints offer a delightful view of the lake along with the city.
This boulevard connects to nearby parks such as Jogi bear park, Sanjivaiah park and Jalavihar. Both these park provide excellent lung space and environment along with its calmness. This boulevard is frequented by early morning joggers, marathon events, and evening hangouts. The Necklace Road MMTS Station is the closest rapid transit facility available connecting to all major parts of the city. However, since the emergence of 'Eat-Street', a lineup of fast food restaurants on the opposing road, there has been a fairly unanimous outrage over the notorious youth who loiter about and morally defile the once treasured family picnic spot.
Famous quotes containing the words necklace and/or road:
“I remember meeting you in a dark dream
Of April, you or some girl,
The necklace of wishes alive and breathing around your throat.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“With only one life to live we can’t afford to live it only for itself. Somehow we must each for himself, find the way in which we can make our individual lives fit into the pattern of all the lives which surround it. We must establish our own relationships to the whole. And each must do it in his own way, using his own talents, relying on his own integrity and strength, climbing his own road to his own summit.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
