One of Hyderabad’s best-kept secrets, The Mahabodhi Buddha Vihara is a Buddhist temple and monastery where you can go to meditate for hours together. It also has a library, a cultural space, and a mesmerising view. This is located in Mahendra Hills in East Marredpally. .... Although the temple is at a height, at the entrance is the wheel of dhamma or dharmachakra and plenty of open space, Once you are done meditating, don’t forget to stop and take a look at the breath-taking city view from what is the highest point of Mahendra Hills.... A bunch of monks, young and old, can be seen watering the plants or feeding the dogs at the temple. The temple is still closed and has not been opened even after unlock ..many devotees and travellers are waiting for it to reopen again.....the review is still incomplete... waiting for it to reopen.. So go here for much-needed peace and for a healthy break from our otherwise hectic lives. ...

Visited this place last week, the view is splendid! The hall is quiet and peaceful. Very well maintained. There is a car parking next to the elevator. Elevator takes you directly to the meditation hall. There is a small park next to the stairs. This is a gem of a place for sure in secbad area.

This review is incomplete as the place is closed since March-end and I couldn't go inside. No information is available as to when it will re-open post - COVID. It seems to be a very peaceful place tucked away in a corner of the twin cities, on a gently sloping hillside in Mahendra Hills. It consists of a Buddha Vihara and a monastery. Many humanitarian activities are undertaken here. In addition meditation classes are also offered. Finally got to visit this place on 13/2/21 Peaceful place and conducive to meditation.

A peaceful place in the middle of a busy city. This is a Buddhist monastery where monks practice the actions and teachings of Buddha. The place is located on a hill top and is very serene and silent. You can sit peacefully and enjoy your own company here or you can participate in the prayer sessions of the monks. A very good place to relax, alone or with friends and family.
