DescriptionVictoria Memorial - Begum Hazrat Mahal Park.jpg
English: Begum Hazrat Mahal was the first wife of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah. She rebelled against the British East India Company during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. After her husband had been exiled to Calcutta, she took charge of the affairs in the state of Awadh, and seized control of Lucknow.
On 15 August 1962, she was honoured at a ceremony in the old Victoria Park. The state government built a marble memorial here to commemorate the Begum's role in the uprising of 1857. A marble tablet with four round brass plaques bearing the coat of arms of Awadh royal family has also been installed.
