Gulab Bari, Historical tomb in Faizabad, India.

Gulab Bari is a mausoleum in Faizabad featuring a square structure with arched passages and a large dome, set within gardens of roses and water channels. The complex includes a mosque and an Imambara positioned around the central tomb building.

Built between 1753 and 1775, this mausoleum contains the remains of Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula, the third Nawab of Awadh, and his mother. The construction reflects the power and architectural preferences of the Nawab rulers of that era.

The complex serves as an important gathering place for religious ceremonies and community meetings, housing a mosque and an Imambara within its walls. These spaces shape how people use the site today for worship and social occasions.

The site is most easily reached by train through Faizabad railway station or by bus from nearby Lucknow. Wear comfortable walking shoes as the complex requires walking through both shaded and open areas to see all its parts.

Local accounts hold that a boali (stepwell) in Lucknow is linked to Gulab Bari, and that the complex once served as a hiding place for the successors of Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula. The enclosure wall is of Lakhauri bricks finished with lime plaster and plaster mouldings.
