Description
English: Plate 26, View of the Great Iman Barra and the Roome Durwaza, from Moosah Bagh end of the city


A plate from General Views & Special Points of Interest of the City of Lucknow, from Drawings made on the spot by Lieut. Col. D. S. Dodgson, A.A.C. London: Day & Son, Gate Street, Lincoln's Inns Fields. Lithographed title and 27 tinted lithographed views on 11 sheets, engraved plan at the end. Dedicated to Lieut. Gen. the Ho. Sir James Outram, Bart. G.C.B. Member of the supreme council of India, &c. &c.
The Great Imambara, which Dodgson described as the "architectural gem of Lucknow", has one of the largest vaulted halls in the world - nearly 50 metres (or 163 feet) long and 15 metres (49 feet) high. As a whole, it is one of India's most splendid edifices. An imambara is a building in which the festival of Muharram is celebrated, and can sometimes be used as a mausoleum, as here. Imambaras are usually dedicated to the three imams: Ali, Hassan and Hussein. Nawab Asaf-ud-Daulah, who lies inside its main hall, undertook its construction as a famine relief measure in 1784. It was designed by the architect Khifayatullah.

The Rumi Darwaza or Turkish Gate stands adjacent to the Imambara and was also constructed in 1784. It is built in the form of a sliced dome, lavishly ornamented.

Licensing[edit]

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
