Chhota Imambara, Islamic shrine in Lucknow, India.
The structure features multiple halls adorned with mirrors, chandeliers, crystal glass lamp stands, gilded domes, and intricate Arabic calligraphy throughout its walls.
Muhammad Ali Shah, the third Nawab of Awadh, constructed this monument in 1838 to serve as both a congregation hall and his future mausoleum.
The building includes five doorways representing Panjetan, the sacred Islamic figures, and contains a Shehnasheen platform housing the Zarih of Imam Husain.
The monument opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with separate prayer areas for men and women, while non-Muslim visitors cannot enter certain religious sections.
The complex contains replicas of the Taj Mahal, serving as tombs for the Nawab's daughter and her husband, alongside an incomplete four-story watchtower.
