Marble Handicrafts Emporium, Agra

Your driver may tell you this is an interesting place to go to and that you do not have to buy... and yes, you can see men demonstrating the good old art of setting gems into the marble (just as they did at the Taj Mahal all those years ago) and you cannot argue that it is a terribly time consuming and rather impressive art. However make no mistake you have been brought here because your driver gets Rs100 for pitching up with you regardless of whether you buy something or not.... if you buy then he will get a commission too so for him it is a win win situation.

If you are like me (and I detest these kinds of places) you will spend the short time of the demonstration thinking how acutely annoyed you are to be there and wondering how long you will have to endure the experience. Like magic you will be invited into the warehouse/shop to see all the ludicrously expensive pieces of marbled work. Yes they are impressive but no I do not want to buy does not work despite the "come look, you do not have to buy, just look" routine you were given 5 minutes previous! The "just look there is no pressure" o course, as in all these places and scenarios, moves aside for the pushy, pushy sale in a falsely, falsely friendly, friendly way!

Unless you cannot live without having a 5 minutes demonstration, you genuinely wish to purchase some very expensive items or you are being kind to your driver, do not bother coming here... the chances are you will end up here irrespective!!!

About the Great Monument

Asafi Imambara, also called as Bara Imambara in Lucknow is a sprawling historical monument of India. This beautiful splendid building was built by 4th  Nawab of Awadh- Nawab Asaf-Ud-Dowhala  and the construction work was taken up in the year 1784. It took 14 years to complete.  It was designed by the Architect Hafiz Kifayat ullah. Shahjahanabadi, a prominent Architect of that time.

 

 

The Noble Mission - To provide work and food-  This great structure was started with a noble cause. During 18th  century a devastating famine struck the Awadh Estate, the Nawab thought of a plan to provide food for its starving subjects. He decided  to make magnificent buildings which would in turn provide employment to the people of the state. Thus the idea of Food- for- work was implemented.  This basic concept is still prevalent in India and  poor are always benefited of such schemes whenever sponsored by government.

 

No Discrimination

It is said that the famine had affected to all segments of the State. To keep pace with crippling food scarcity poor people worked in day-time as usual while a section of the noble people worked during night hours. This it was ensured that each  section of society gets opportunity to work.

Unique Construction

The whole building is made of Lakhanui bricks (small size bricks)  and lime plaster. No wood or metal has been used in the construction. This special contemporary style of construction makes  the structure unique  and amazing.

What will surprise you is the arched roof of the central halls where not even a single piece of beams or girders has been used. It is said that this is the only building of the world without any pillar support though it is largest one . The height of the ceiling is 15 meters.  The amazing hollow walls of the central hall  not only keeps it cool during summer  but also help to lighten the load of the structure.  You can view the grave of Nawab Asaf-ud-Dowlah and his crown kept in the central hall. Bara Imambara in fact establishes a unique link with Lucknow's past. Best of the structure is excellent architecture that represents Lucknow's culture, art, its ethos and Nawabi way of life which is always peculiar to Avadh (Province).   

 

 

So where is Bhool Bhulaiya (the Labyrinth) in Bara Imambara

The most interesting and amazing structure of Bara Imambara -Bhool Bhulaiya or the Labyrinth, is constructed above the Imambara.  On left hand side you will see steep chain of stairs going upto the roof of the monument.  Put on your shoes, equip yourself with a torch and of course with acqua water bottle if it is summer days, explore the world most discussed and appreciated Bhool Bhulaiya which comprises a network of more than 1,000 passages, 489 identical doorways  and a number of staircases that goes up or down.  Some of the doorways open into the balconies of the Central vault, while some open into the windows where from you can see the main road, and other structures and the rest ways are  blocked ! 

The structure appears like a maze game involving a number of stairs, tracks, openings which confuse the visitor.  Few of the tracks are sealed because of maintenance or other reasons.  If you visit, keep in mind that maximum stairs have opening to the roof of the structure. If you find yourself confused, you may opt for to go on roof … and this is the easiest way.  This looks like secret code to crack the maze. 

 An unknown Significant fact : You will find some guides burning a matchbox stick at the other end of the balconies that have openings to the Central Hall.  In fact, this is another significant and architectural art of the building that has been used in this structure.  You can listen the sound  of a match stick at the other end of the hall.  It is really interesting and seems unbelievable. If you happen to visit this monument, please do observe this uniqueness. It may be probably due to grooves made on the walls of the Hall. You can see grooves lining in black colour. Another most unusual feature is that Imambara  provides different moods - either at dusk or dawn. Please visit it in early morning and thereafter in evening and you will find still more to explore.

The Top of the Bhool Bhulaiya: 

Ah, what a look of Lucknow. The city of Minarets and domes.  Have a bird's eye view of monuments, the Roomi Darwaja, the Gates, Asifi Masjid, Clock Towers, Laxman Tila Masjid, the blue river - Gomti and the busy streets of Lucknow city.
