Bahu Begum ka Maqbara is an imposing mausoleum in Faizabad, built for the wife of Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula. This three-domed structure is a masterpiece of Awadhi architecture, with ornate stucco work, towering minarets, and a grand gateway. Visitors can explore the spacious courtyard, the intricately decorated interior, and the surrounding gardens. The tomb's scale and craftsmanship reflect the wealth and cultural patronage of the Nawabs. It's a lesser-known gem that offers insight into the region's royal history.
