Tomb
of
Saadat
Ali
Khan
The
complex
is
well
maintained,
an
Saadat
Ali
Khan
was
the
6th
emperor
of
Awadh.
He
ruled
Awadh
from
1798-1814.
Begum
Khurshid
Jadi
was
the
favorite
Begum
of
Nawab
Saadat
Ali
Khan
and
she
died
during
the
lifetime
of
Nawab
Saheb.
The
tomb
of
Saadat
Ali
Khan
and
his
wife
Khurshid
Zadi
are
one
of
the
very
few
populous
places
amongst
many
in
the
city
of
Nawabs,
Lucknow.
Nestled
in
the
heart
of
Lucknow,
this
place
is
adjoining
to
the
Begum
Hazrat
Mahal
Park
on
the
Rani
Laxmi
Bai
Road,
well
marked
on
Google
Maps.
This
place
is
managed
and
caressed
by
Hussainabad
Trust.
Saadat
Ali
Khan
was
the
6th
emperor
of
Oudh
or
Awadh
reigning
1798-1814.
These
tombs
were
erected
by
his
son
Ghazi-Ud-Din
Haider.
The
complex
is
well
maintained,
and
full
of
lush
greenery
all
around.
As
you
enter,
you’ll
find
two
tombs
inside—
one
of
Saadat
Ali
Khan
and
other,
of
his
wife
Khurshid
Zadi.
Both
of
those
are
made
of
lakhauri
bricks,
lime
mortar,
and
plaster
to
give
the
fine
edge.
√When
I
visited
this
place
I
was
amazed
by
the
fine
artistry
of
the
tombs
(makbara).
Because
of
the
beautiful
look
and
serenity
of
the
architecture,
it
is
a
perfect
place
to
hang
out
and
have
a
picnic
with
your
best
people.
The
main
tomb,
of
Saadat
Ali,
is
said
to
be
a
five
floors
building
including
the
basement
(tehkhaana).
Tomb
of
Begam
Khurshid
The
tomb
of
consort
Khurshid
Zadi
is
also
as
equally
beautiful
as
Nawab’s
but
just
smaller
in
size
and
height.
The
architectural
beauty
is
covered
by
gardens
and
flower
plantations
from
each
side,
compelling
you
to
rest
your
eyes
on
it.
When
I
was
here,
the
entry
was
closed
due
to
some
reason.
Entry
fees
to
both
tombs
are
zero
but
if
you
want
to
know
about
the
monuments,
hire
a
guide
that
will
cost
you
mere
₹20-₹50.
Moreover,
entry
is
open
from
sunrise
to
sunset
for
everyone.
The
Back-end
It
is
said
that
Kaiserbagh
was
earlier
known
as
Khas
Bazar
and
this
place
used
to
be
the
residence
of
Hyder
the
prince,
Ghazi-ud-Din.
Later,
after
the
death
of
Nawab
Saadat
Ali
Khan,
his
tomb
and
Khurshid
Jadi’s
mausoleum
was
built
by
the
son
Ghazi-ud-Din
Haider
himself.
According
to
historians,
all
the
buildings
from
the
Kaiserbagh
area
of
Lucknow
to
Dilkusha
Kothi
were
constructed
during
the
reign
of
Saadat
Ali.
Nawab
Saheb
was
a
great
lover
of
architecture.
His
love
for
architecture
is
reflected
in
the
buildings
he
built.
Some
Important
Things
To
Note
The
evening
around
here
is
beautiful,
you
can
go
for
a
walk
with
the
children.
There
is
a
beautiful
garden
around
the
architecture.
There
is
no
parking.
However,
you
can
use
the
parking
of
Hazrat
Mahal
Park
in
front.
What
I
found
that
this
place
is
really
photogenic.
So
prepare
your
cameras
and
be

Take
special
care
of

This
is
a
legacy,
so

clean.
The
surrounding
gardens
have
a

Gate,

Mahal
Park,
