"LALBAGH JAMA MASJID" . . [email protected] . . The construction of this mosque was started in the year 1839 A.D. by His Majesty King Mohammad Ali Shah Bahadur (3rd King of Oudh) with the intention to surpass the Jama Masjid at Delhi in size, but after his death the mosque was completed by his wife Queen Malika Jahan Sahiba in the year 1845 A.D. Built with "Lakhauri" bricks and plastered with lime, it is decorated with coloured stucco motifs. Standing on a square lofty terrace, it has a rectangular prayer hall, on the west with a magnificent facade of eleven arches. The central one is higher and provided with an unusually high doorway which rises above the roof in a sharply pointed arch decorated in coloured stucco. . . . #awadh #kingofawadh #nawabi #nawabzade #nawab #lucknowexplorer #lucknowblogger #lucknowbloggers #lucknowites #lucknowdiaries #lucknowi #traveler #travelphotography #travelblogger #travelsolo #canon #canonphotography #picsart #lucknowlitrature #lucknowcity #lucknowtravel #lucknowphotography #uttarpradesh #uttarpradeshtourism #uttarayan2020 #expo #expo2020 #lalbagh #hazrat #hazratganj (at Lalbagh, Lucknow) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8FwvT4nrw0/?igshid=85cxmuvt7uhl
