View of the tomb of Zinat Algiya in the Hussainabad Imambara complex, also known as Chota Imambara, an ornately decorated building of Islamic architecture with multiple domes and niches, and flanked by three visible minarets. The view is seen from an elevated vantage point on the opposite side of the reflecting pool that runs through the center of the complex. Visible in the background is the Jama Masjid, a large mosque with two visible domes and two minarets that lack top galleries.
