The imambara is also referred to as a maqbara or mausoleum complex as it holds the graves of Nawab Amjad Ali Shah, his grandson Mirza Javed Ali, and the wife of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, Taj-un Nisa Begum. Sadly, the structure bore the brunt of the Revolt of 1857 and was brutally damaged during the rebellion. Precious items such as the silk carpet and chandeliers were looted by miscreants, and when the final attempt to recapture the city of Lucknow was made by the British, the wall enclosures were destroyed by the Sikh regiment of the British forces. British troops were on their way to Qaiser Bagh, where Begum Hazrat Mahal, the wife of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, and her loyalists were holding out.
