Bada Imambara, Lucknow

Very touristy, but I did many touristy things on this trip.

  1. i love the Imambaras. they’re majestic – there is an air of a ruined royalty around them.

  2. am not surprised! apparently, the construction of the asafi imambara was undertaken primarily to provide employment to the people during a severe drought.

    • oh yeah, i remember the guide telling us that the building kept getting broken down and then rebuilt again so employment could be provided. and so, it took a really long time to be completed.
