Title:

Najuf Ashraf or Shah Najaf [Lucknow]. Photographer: Abbas Ali

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

View looking along the pathway across the garden, towards the entrance to the shallow-domed tomb: 'the mausoleum of Hazee-ood-deen Hyder, built by himself, for the interment of his own remains. It is surrounded by a high wall, and, like the Kuddum Rasool, afforded the mutineers an excellent position for defence...The place derives the name 'Najuf,' from the hill on which the tomb of Ali, the son-in-law of Mahomed, is built, of which tomb this is said to be an exact copy. A fund was left by King Ghazee-ood-deen Hyder, to keep the place in repair, to illuminate it yearly on the anniversary of his death, and to maintain an establishment. It is a place of great sanctity with the Mahomedans, but is not so grand as the great Imambara of Hosainabad which will be noticed in due course.' The building survives in good condition.
