Chota Imambara (Hussainabad) Visit

Lucknow

Also known as the Palace of Lights, the Chota Imambara is a more ornate and intimate counterpart to the Bara Imambara — its interior shimmers with hundreds of chandeliers, gilded calligraphy, and the golden throne of the nawab. The surrounding walled garden and gateway are equally beautiful.

Pro tip from your tour advisor

The Chota Imambara is at its most magical during Muharram when thousands of lanterns illuminate the building at night.
