Historical Baradari
The Safed Baradari, also known as the White Palace, is a historical building located in the Qaiserbagh area of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Built by Nawab Wajid Ali Shah in 1854, the Baradari was originally constructed as a "Palace of Mourning" (Qasr-ul-Aza) to observe the mourning rituals (azadaari) for Imam Hussain and his followers at Karbala.
After the annexation of Awadh in 1856, the British used the Baradari to hold court for petitions and claims by the officers and nobles of the deposed King's reign. Later, around 1923, it was handed over to the Taluqadars of Awadh as a gesture of appreciation for their submission and loyalty to the British Empire. The building was then renamed the British India Association of Oudh.
The main hall of the Baradari features two marble statues of the Maharajas, Man Singh and Digvijay Singh of Balrampur, who were the founders of the association. The Baradari continues to be under the control of this association and is used as a convention center for weddings and other occasions.
