Sikandar Bagh
Sikandar Bagh in Lucknow is a historic 4.5-acre walled garden estate originally constructed by Nawab Wajid Ali Shah as a royal summer villa. During the 1857 Indian Rebellion, it became the site of a brutal, decisive siege where over 2,200 Indian rebel soldiers were killed in fierce hand-to-hand combat by British forces. The site is now widely regarded as one of Lucknow's most haunted historic grounds, with persistent stories of ghostly shadows, disembodied cries, and military apparitions after dark.
