The 36-meter (120 ft) tall Flag Post made of teak wood had marked the integration of the erstwhile Hyderabad state into the Indian Union in 1948.
The maze garden located near the main building has murraya exotica as the main attraction, while the children’s park has been set up to engage the younger visitors, it said.
The restoration of three-step wells will capture a significant amount of rainwater annually. It will increase water security and local resource sustainability while traditional irrigation systems will make visitors aware about the heritage, the release said.
