These are few moments of my visit to Imambara a place situated in Lucknow city of Uttar Pradesh, India....
Imambara is a monument made in early times for the protection from the enemy. This monument has a very planned and mindful structure which always stunned to the visiters.
This monument is mostly famous for its most confusing ways inside the building. Actually Imambara is built by Asaf-ud-Daula, Nawab of Awadh in 1784.
This monument has a big hall on the ground floor and then there 3 more floors where there are so many paths like tunnel attached to each other without any source of natural or artificial lights. The special things about these paths are that you can not get the actual way by choosing any path.
Like when you go towards the upstairs to go to the roof top you reach to the ground floor and when you go towards the ground floor you reach to the second floor. You go and go through the paths but you again reach to the same position from where you start. And this is the most funniest thing about this monument. Due to such confusing paths, peoples are not allowded to go without guide.
So we also take a guide with us. He show us the right way to the roof top, explaining and giving knowledge about all the things of that monument. He also told us that these walls of the building are not made of wood, metal or ciment. All these walls are built of Lakhanui bricks and lime plaster. Its a world largest unsupported structure. Its seem very weird.
Moving through the way he asked us-
"Have you hear the famous idom- Even walls have ears. Today i will prove you.
Then he said us that I'm going few distance away from you to the another path and say something from there to the walls and you try to hear my voice through the walls.
Then he go and says hii and amazingly we all hear it very clearly through the walls. That was really amazing. It all proves that our ancestors are much more intelligent than us.
Then after sometimes our guider said that now you try to find out the way and i just follow you. So we all start using our minds. Someone says this way, other says this way. That was too much funny when you choose a path and claim that its right and then it proves wrong.😄😄
Everyone scold you.
But that was amazing moment for me to visit such a funny and amazing place......
Hope you all enjoyed it........
