Lucknow Vignettes 4

The Bara Imambara boasts of a labyrinthine walkway in its magnificent dome popularly known as Bhool Bhulaiyya. It is not much of a maze and it is indeed difficult to lose your way into it. Nevertheless it is full of seemingly uncouth hoi polloi shouting and screaming through it and basically having a good time. Quite contrasting with the function of the Imambara which is ironically a landmark of mourning.
