Constructed in the late 18th century, Bada Imambara in Lucknow is one of the largest Shia monuments in India. The construction of the congregation hall was commissioned by the Nawab of Awadh, and reflects a striking Mughal inspired architecture. The monument is also famous for its maze like labyrinth called ‘Bhulbhulaiya’ that contains 489 identical doorways.
