Bara Imambara- Lucknow: A fine specimen of Mughal architecture

Tripoto
Day 1

Bara Imambara is truly a marvel of engineering situated in Lucknow and is built by Nawab Asaf-ud-daula. The monument has a large courtyard and many gardens built in the Persian style of architecture. There are nine halls in the monument and It is said to be the world's largest structure that is unsupported by beams. The beauty of this wonder lies in its incredible labyrinth also known as bhul bhulayia by the locals which is a corridor of mazes. If you are witnessing the bhul bhulayia for the first time then it is advised to hire a local guide. They will guide you inside the maze and bring you back out.  The rooftop of the labyrinth has a spectacular view of the city.  One can sit and just admire the beautiful view from this spot. It brings so much peace and is a treat to the eyes. 
Also, if you want to experience the exquisite delicacy of Lucknow and have the famous kebabs then there is a place called Aminabad which is around 4.5kms from Bara Imambara. This place is a paradise for chicken lovers. If you are a foodie then add it to your list because it surely is drool-worthy.

Happy traveling!
