Sibtainabad Imambara, Religious gathering place in Metiabruz, Kolkata, India.
Sibtainabad Imambara contains a large hall with scalloped arches and niches that display ceremonial tomb replicas called tazias throughout the structure.
The structure was constructed in 1864 by Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, the last ruler of Oudh, who established this location following his exile from Lucknow.
The building functions as a center for Shia Islamic ceremonies, particularly during Muharram, when the community gathers for religious observances.
The eastern section of the hall includes an enclosed area containing the tomb of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, decorated with inscriptions and poetic verses.
The entrance features the Oudh coat of arms and a hamsa hand symbol representing five sacred Islamic figures above the main doorway.
