Oct 14, 2009
Bara Imam Bara is the tallest building in Luknow. Asif masjid, Bhulbhulaiya and boli are the main scenes from this superstructure. This was built by Asaf-ud-daula (1775-1797) in 1783. The entrance to the hall opens eyecatching decorative lightings and night lamps. Weapeons also exhibited there.
Bhulbhulaiya
Bhulbhulaiya constitutes many gates, Consciously designed by its architect Kifayatullah, the 164 feet long and 52 feet wide building is constructed in brick with high quality limestone. There are three way to each entrance. One is leads to right and others are wrong. If you entered through the wrong way then you have to go through remaining 488 hall for reach out. At the same time you entered the right one then there is no time need to reach out.
Another miracle in this building is Bolly, a water well. When you look inside from the top , it seems even a small movement of the hall will reflect the water. As per the position of the wall and well this would not happen. Kifayatullah the architect, he final resting also belongs to this hall.
