Imambara Ghufran Ma'ab, Lucknow

Imambara Ghufran Ma'ab was constructed by eminent Shia cleric Ayatollah Syed Dildar Ali Naseerabadi at the end of the 18th century. He was also known as Ghufran Ma'ab, and that’s where the name of the imambara comes from. This place is a significant religious and cultural center of Lucknow. It is run by descendants of Ayatollah Ghufran Ma'ab. The popularity of the Shaam-e-Ghariban majlis (an Islamic gathering) held here is reaching beyond national boundaries. Outside the Imambara there is a cemetery built as a place of burial for scholars and other illustrious personalities.
