Situated on the right bank of Gomti river, was built by Ghazi-ud-din Haider (1814-27 A.D), the first kind of Awadh (Lucknow), in memory of Hazrat Ali, the son -in-law of Hazrat Mohammad, the Prophet of Islam.
In central hall there are graves of the king and his three queens, namely Sarfaraz Mahal, Mubarak Mahal and Mumtaz Mahal.
This place also was one of the strongholds of the freedom fighters in 1857. It was strongly defended by them but eventually the British army captured it after a year of fierce fighting.
