The Gulab Bari, also known as the Rose Garden, is located in Vaidehi Nagar. It is the mausoleum of Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula, the third Nawab of Faizabad (Oudh or Awadh), and his parents.

The Gulab Bari's 18th-century edifice has genuine Nawab-styled architecture, as well as a wide variety of rose species, fountains, and beautiful flora. Gulab Bari is presently maintained as part of national heritage, having been listed under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act.

Legend of Gulab Bari

Built by Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula himself, Gulab Bari is part of the other magnificent architecture that the Nawabs brought in during the time. The tomb of his wife, Bahu Begum and her house, popularly known as Moti Mahal are some of the remnants of the unparalleled Nawabi architecture. Erected right at the centre of the Charbagh Garden, this two-storied tombstone bracketed by endless lines of colourful roses hosts two entries.
