Bara Imambara
The Bara Imambara is a large Shia congregation hall in Lucknow, India, built by Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula from 1784, partly to provide work during a famine. Its central hall, roofed without supporting beams, is among the largest vaulted chambers of its kind, and the complex includes the Asfi Mosque and the labyrinth known as the Bhul Bhulaiya. Asaf-ud-Daula is buried there.
