Chhota Imambara

Chota Imambara is an imposing monument located in the city of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Popularly known as the Chhota Imambara, the Imambara of Hussainabad in the old city is one of the most beautiful and attractive buildings. This Imambara was built by Mohammed Ali Shah in the second year of his rule in 1839. Mohammed Ali Shah must have built this Imambara as a token of allegiance to his faith and as gratitude for the lucky windfall, that he never expected at the fag end of his life, when he was 63 years old and infirm, to be chosen by the British and crowned as the third King of Oudh (Awadh), of which he wasn't even a claimant. Azim-ullah Khan was the superintendant of the ordinance and building department of the King and supervised the buiiding of the Hussainabad Imambara. The building has been designed on the Charbagh pattern with a stream running through the middle of the garden. The exterior is very beautifully decorated with Quranic verses in Islamic calligraphy
