Imambara Hassanabad, built in 1857, is the second oldest shrine in Srinagar. Millions of Shia Muslims offer their prayers here annually. Situated in the south-west side of the city, this shrine sits in the middle of three other religious places that include the Chatti Padshahi Gurudwara, Hazratbal Mosque and Maa Sharda Devi Temple.
The architecture of the octagon-shaped Imambara Hassanabad showcases an Indo-Iranian style of construction. Around five main entry gates to the shrine are reserved entirely for women.The Baba Mazar, a Mughal graveyard, is also situated close to this shrine.
Famous Kashmiri luminaries such as Baba Ali, Hab Saheb Mulla, a renowned poet of Kashmiri Marsia, and Syed Mirza Shah, the great Persian poet of the 17th century, used this cemetery as their resting place.
