Lucknow, the nawabo ka sheher, has always fascinated me with its kebabs, tehzeeb, and—how can we forget—chikankari! But what about the history it holds? How about trying something far apart from these sooo popular gems and instead landing at something that is mystical, mind-boggling, and straight out of a maze—quite literally?
Yes, I’m talking about Bhool Bhulaiya—no, not the movie! I mean the labyrinth inside Bara Imambara, where one wrong turn and boom, you're lost (unless you have a guide, of course!). This architectural puzzle has over 1,000 interconnected corridors, staircases, and hidden doors, many of which lead to—yep, you guessed it—dead ends.
Now, you might be wondering—has anyone really gotten stuck in there? Same question I had when I first heard about it! Or, how tricky is it to find your way out? And wait… is it haunted? Well, my curiosity was answered in a way I never expected. Want to find out? Let’s uncover what secrets (yes, they say there are hidden treasures!) lie inside Bhool Bhulaiya—right in the heart of Lucknow, the capital of UP!
