Bada Imambara

There’s a bhool bhulaiya in Lucknow which is known as Bada Imambara. This bhool bhulaiya was built by Asaf-ud-Daula, the Nawab. It was constructed when famine struck the kingdom and the subjects were in need of food. People worked here and in return they were given food. It took fourteen years to build this Imambara. The engineers have made it in such a way that it stands strong and tall. One should visit this historical place once in their life. One should take guide to go inside this Imambara or else might get lost. This bhool-bhulaiya has surprises at every end. It has one-thousand passages and 489 identical doors.

The Imambara is made such that when you are going upstairs this means you are actually going down and vice versa. This bhool bhulaiya has 1024 ways of going to the terrace but there’s only one way to come downwards. The infrastructure is such that if a person whispers on one wall and tells the other one to lean his/her ears against the opposite wall, he/she can hear what the other person is whispering. When you reach the terrace you will see the whole view of Lucknow. The architecture who designed Bara Imambara would have been really talented person. This is a major tourist attraction in Lucknow.
