Description: | Photograph of the Gateway of Husainabad Bazaar in Lucknow, taken by Baker and Burke in the 1860s, from the Edward Molyneux Collection: Album entitled 'Indian Photographs'. The Husainabad Imambara was constructed during the reign of Nawab Muhammad Ali Shah of Awadh (r.1837-1842). An imambara is a general term for a building used to celebrate the festival of Muharram. This complex of the Husainabad Imambara is rectangular with an impressive gateway on each side. The complex consists of a forecourt and main court. The imambara is located within the main court and has two tombs on either side. This is a view of an outer gateway of the Husainabad Imambara, with traders on either side of the road in the foreground. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Baker and Burke | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
