The third Nawab of Avadh, Muhammad Ali Shah built this
imposing structure in 1840. The real name of this structure is Husainabad
Imambada.
The interior of this magnificent building has chandeliers from Belgium,
lamp shades and other decorative pieces which might have costed a fortune
in those days. The decorations inside the building are ravishingly
beautiful. Once a Prince from Russia said that this was the Kremlin of
India.
Inside the Imambara are the tombs of Ali Shah and his mother. Enclosed in
the structure is the Royal bath or the 'Sahi Hammam'.
The use of marble and arches in constructing buildings on both sides of
the courtyard makes one to compare the architecture with that of
Taj Mahal . The
Imambara also houses silver throne of Muhamad Ali Shah.
