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.
.
General Info:
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.
The timings are 8 am to 6 pm
Since the site is a protected monument under Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), entrance charges of Rs. 5/- per person for Indian tourists are levied. The charges for foreigners and those from SAARC countries are much higher.
There are numerous vendors selling Bhelpuri, Ice-cream, Tea, Wada Pav, etc. outside the monument where tourists as well as locals come for a stroll.

Just outside station there are many hotels.. Tripati lodge and hotel is one such hotel.. they offer pretty good south Indian dishes.
.
At the time of posting rice plate costs "80."but my favorite is Dosa and masala dosa costing 35 and 40. Both of these will not be in menu card, you will have to ask the server directly for it..
