Known for its architectural affluence and historical appeal, Bada Imambada is frequented by a huge number of locals and tourists. Placed close to it, Chhota Imambada is equally enticing with its store of archaic semblances. Beautifully complementing these monuments is the Hussainabad Picture Gallery which houses alluring symbols of Lucknow's Nawabi heritage. If you have not traversed through these captivating complexes, this is the best time.
