Begum Hazrat Mahal Park pays tribute to Begum Hazrat Mahal, who was the first wife of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah. As she played a very crucial role during the era of the First Freedom Movement in 1857, the State Government built a marble memorial in her honour in the old Victoria Park.Opened on 15 August 1962, the memorial was adorned with strings of flowers and brightened by multi-coloured bulbs and neon tubes. A rally ground once, the park has hosted several Dusshera celebrations and numerous Lucknow Mahotsavas. The coat of the Arms of Awadh Royal Family adorns the marble tablet that has four round brass plaques.
