Husainabad Imambara |
|
Also known as the Chota Imambara, it stands to the west of the Bara Imambara. Built by Nawab Mohd. Ali Shah around 1837-1840, it is more ornate in design with exquisite chandeliers, gilt-edged mirrors, silver Mimbar and colourful stucco work which adorns the interiors. A golden dome and fine calligraphy on the exteriors of the building makes it a truly exceptional monument of Mughal architecture. The entire complex consists of the main hall, the tombs of the Nawabs daughter which is built in the shape of the Taj Mahal and a mosque. In the centre of the complex is a lotus pond with colourful fish. |

| Asafi Imambara |
|
In the year 1773 the to-be Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula decided to shift his capital from Faizabad to Lucknow on a whim. He didn't get along with his mother and so decided to move out. At the time a famine had broken out in and around the city of Lucknow because of a severe drought. It is said that the people of Lucknow were very friendly but also very proud and would not acceptalms.So the Nawab began the construction of an Imambara which would provideemployment to the masses and they could work for a living. |
