View of a large palm tree in an open and grassy area that is also planted with other trees. Two native men can be seen standing nearby. Visible in the background, from left to right, are the mausoleum of Begum Khurshid Zadi and its twin, the mausoleum of Nawab Saadat Ali Khan of Oudh, with their ribbed domes. Both buildings of Islamic architecture are also topped with a finial and decorated with chattris, or decorative domed pavilions.
