बड़ा इमामबाड़ा Baṛā Imāmbāṛā
A large and impressive tomb complex built in 1783. There is an interesting labyrinth inside, called Bhool Bhulaiya (भूल भुलैया Bhūl Bhulaiyā). You could easily spend half a day wandering around these beautiful but crumbling examples of Mughal architecture. If you hire a guide, do not expect him to know the way around; some are known to get lost in the labyrinth. The ticket also includes the Chhota Imambara, the Husainabad clock tower and picture gallery. Lone couples are not allowed to enter the labyrinth inside the complex without a guide. This prohibition is not brought to notice while buying the entry ticket. You will also have to pay a man ₹2 to mind your shoes while exploring the complex: shoes are not allowed inside.
