A JOURNEY IN LUCKNOW












The Hussainabad Imambara is a major tourist attraction of Lucknow. The monument was built by Mohammed Ali Shah in the year 1837. The tombs of Mohammed Ali Shah and his mother are located over here. The walls of the monument are decorated with Arabic verses that have been carved beautifully by efficient craftsmen. The structure has an imposing white colored dome and many pillars or minarets. The whole structure is bordered with thousands of little bulbs, which give it a royal look. Absolutly gorgious are also Asafi Mashid and the close by Chhota Imambada. I also visited the laughing horse not giving me one smile that day.
