Standing with pride just opposite the hazarduary palace - it is a mesmerizing architecture. It is open for public only during Muharram - so whoever planning to visit this imambara, opt for this time. Rest of the time, it remains close.

Every time... every time YOUR mammoth structure, YOUR regality, YOUR serenity and gravity amazed me...my whole inner self just transferred to another world...a world far superior from this common world....Nizamat Imambara, you are just fascinating. Nawab Siraj himself laid bricks and soils from Mecca for Your foundation in 1740...it was his dream project to have a Mecca by his side...that wooden structure is no more....the fire of 1842 and 1846 totally devoured You...yet like a Phinix once again You raised your head from your ashes. Nawab Nazim Mansur Ali Khan rebuilt You in 1847... more than 6 lacs rupees and 11 strenuous months...Your transformation was complete. Now You are always beside Siraj's Madina ...You and Your ethereal White colour is our proud heritage. World's largest Imambara is only an award...You are the true essence of INDIA.
