• Ibrahimpatnam Lake : At the start of his reign, Sultan Ibrahim Qutb Shah rebuilt and cleaned up Pangal Lake, which is around 100 kilometers from Hyderabad. During his 30-year rule between 1550 and 1580 AD, Ibrahim Qutb Shah designed and constructed Ibrahimpatnam Lake as one of his final lakes. Hussainsagar Lake had already been established on his orders when it was built. According to history, Khairatunnisa, the daughter of Ibrahim, had mediocre health, thus the monarch commanded that she be housed far from the fort, near a water body. Husain Shah Wali, Ibrahim's son-in-law, took on the task and completed it by 1565. Though it is impossible to picture the lake water next to the Khairatabad masjid that is surrounded by homes, the region where the couple resided in is still known by the name Khairatabad.
