Safed Baradari
The Safed Baradari, also known as the White Palace, is a beautiful white marble building located in the Qaiserbagh area of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. It was built by the last Nawab of Awadh, Wajid Ali Shah, in 1854 as a palace of mourning called Qasr-ul-Aza. The purpose was to observe azadaari (mourning) for the martyrdom of Imam Hussain and his followers at Karbala.
After the annexation of Awadh by the British in 1856, the Baradari was used by the British to hold court for petitions and claims by the officers and nobles of the deposed King's reign. Later, it was handed over to the Taluqadars of Awadh for their association, which was renamed as 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, the founders of the association. The structure is an architectural marvel, blending Islamic and Indian styles, and continues to attract visitors for its historical significance and beauty.
