History

Shah Najaf Imambara was constructed by Nawab Ghazi-ud-Din Haider in 1818,[1][2] the last nawab wazir and the first King of the Oudh state in 1818 to 1827. The building was named after the term Shah-e-Najaf (King of Najaf) which is an allusion to Ali.[3] This imambara served as Ghazi-ud-Din Haider's mausoleum. His three wives Sarfaraz Mahal, Mubarak Mahal and Mumtaz Mahal are also buried there.[citation needed]

The thick walls around the mosque are said to have withstonod the heavy gun fires of British naval brigade during their advance in 1857.[4]
