Yahiyaganj Gurudwara (Sikh Temple) is a historical place to be visited by Sikh Community. The streets are congested and confusing. It is suggested to take Rickshaw, Three Wheeler for visiting interior places. Good for shopping of clothes and accessories. JAMA Mosque is also in vacinity.

Nadan Mahal is one of the oldest surviving historical monuments in Lucknow. During the reign of the great Mughal emperor, Akbar, Sheikh Ibrahim Chishti was the first governor of Lucknow. Though the mausoleum is less-known amongst tourists, yet, it is one of the most tranquil tourist sites to visit in Lucknow. It is located in a park complex in the old city of Lucknow. There are three structures in the park; two of them are enclosed tombs. One of the tombs contains the remains of Ibrahim Chishti. Once it was a prominent place for Sheikh’s followers used to pray for Nadan (deliverance).

In 1590 AD. Mughal Emperor Akbar the great rewarded Sheikh Abdur Rahim with the land of the pargana of lucknow. The first governor (Subedar) of lucknow at the time of mughal Empire..In 1590, when Mughal Emperor Akbar divided the entire India into 12 provinces, first of all, Lucknow was declared the capital of ruler or Subadar of Awadh province. Coincidentally, those days a poor and troubled old man named Sheikh Abdur Rahim of Bijnor district reached Delhi in search of employment. Having established the contact with rich people of the court,he reached in the court of emperor. Finally, he was included in Shahi Mansabdars and he got Jagir in Lucknow. His tomb is famous as a Nadan Mahal.

One of the best historical places in Lucknow hidden from the eyes of visitors though. But it has a history of its own. Standing from Mughal empire till now. Nice place to visit if you have taste in history and a travelling in your blood.

Nadan Mahal has the tomb of Sheikh Abdur Rahim in a domed chamber.This impressive square mausoleum is near the tomb of Sheikh Abdur Rahim`s father, Sheikh Ibrahim Chishi.Akbar had been warned by his astrologers that two particular days were inauspicious & he should let some reliable person to occupy the throne for those two days.So Akbar nominated Sheikh Abdur Rahim to be emperor for 2 days.For his role, Sheikh Abdur Rahim was rewarded with lands of Lucknow.

It is an historical place when you see the second part of the place there was look of the old place which is not reneuated from years till now. But besides it nadal mahal is basically known for its nadan mahal mosque which is inside in the nadan mahal. The mosque is beautiful as well as old too. You can offer namaz here.

Located in the Yahiyaganj locality of Lucknow, the Nadan Mahal Maqbara is the oldest monument of Lucknow, dating back to the Mughal era. But finding it can be a bit of a challenge. When we told our auto-driver we wanted to go to there, he took us to a private house on the Nadan Mahal Road which had a cement airplane on top! If you don’t have Google maps when on tour (I didn’t), what you need to do is to get to Nadan Mahal Road, find an octogenarian Muslim (easy to tell them apart from the attire, fine flowing beards, and exquisite skull caps), and ask for the “Chishti sahib ka dargah”.Mausoleum of Sheikh Ibrahim ChishtiCurrently located within a well maintained park, there are four structures inside the Nadan Mahal complex. The one immediately to left of the gate, to the East of the complex, is the tomb of Sheikh Ibrahim Chishti, a Sufi saint of the Chishti order. It is a domed structure, raised on a low plinth. The outer walls are constructed of stone “kankar” blocks, which were originally covered with lime plaster, which is now mostly gone. The arched entrances however, are built of brick and lime plaster. Over the southern entrance is a green coloured tablet, with a few couplets written in the Nastaʿlīq script. Roughly translated, the tablet says the following – “Sheikh Ibrahim Chishti who was special and just one of many in history. He went from this mortal world to the immortal world. If someone asks about his death, tell him that he was the centre of his era”. The tablet puts down the date of death as 961 Hijri which corresponds to 1553-54 in the Gregorian calendar. The interior of the chamber is octagonal, with the tomb of Sheikh Ibrahim Chishti in the centre. There are arched openings on all four sides for purposes of ventilation, 3 of which are now closed. The exterior of the dome has recently been repaired and whitewashed, although no attempt has been made to re-plaster the walls. The original name of Nadan Mahal may have been Nidan Mahal, since Sheikh Ibrahim Chishti’s followers prayed for “nidan” or deliverance at his tomb. Sheikh Ibrahim Chishti’s tomb is still used for worship, and shoes must be removed before approaching it.The Solah KhambaThere are two other structures in the Nadan Mahal complex, which are located to the South, and the one you approach first is called a “Solah Khamba”. The open pavilion derives its name from the sixteen (solah) fluted pillars (khamba) which hold up the roof. Brick and stone are used for construction, and the pillars have exquisitely ornamented bases and brackets. Among the brackets, there may be seen the form of an elephant’s head, or “gaja mukha”. While this is not strictly in keeping with Islamic tradition of not depicting anything living, this structure was probably built in the Mughal style which fused Hindu and Islamic elements. On the raised platform of the “Solah Khamba” are five graves, which are said to be of the descendants of Sheikh Abdur Rahim, the first Governor of Lucknow during the reign of Mughal Emperor Akbar.Nadan Mahal with the Solah Khamba in the foregroundImmediately West of the “Solah Khamba” is the Nadan Mahal tomb, from which the complex gets its name. This is the tomb of Sheikh Abdur Rahim. According to Sheikh Mohammed Azmat Ali Naami Kakorvi’s historical account in Muraqqa-e-Khusravi written in 1282 Hijri (1866), Akbar had been warned by his astrologers that two particular days were inauspicious for him as emperor. To tide over the period of the curse, Akbar nominated Sheikh Abdur Rahim to be emperor for two days. As the period was about to end, the eunuch carrying the emperor’s clothes suddenly dropped dead! There was a cobra inside the emperor’s clothes! The relieved Akbar gave Sheikh Abdur Rahim the Lucknow “pargana” and some parts of Behraich (North-East of Lucknow in the modern day state of Uttar Pradesh). It seems the Sheikh had begun construction of the tomb during his
