and celebrate it at home.
The Mayndhie procession of one great per-
sonage, in Native cities, is directed—by previous
arrangement—to the Emaum-baarah of a supe-

Mayndhie of the Prime Minister of Oude was
sent to the King's Emaum-baarah, called Shaah
Nudghiff,*—from the mausoleum of Ali, of which

It is situated near the banks of the river
Goomtie, some distance from the palace at
Lucknow; the entrance to the outer court, or
quadrangle, is by a handsome gateway of brick-
work plastered and polished, resembling marble.
On each side of the gateway, and carried up
* This edifice was built under the superintendance of
Ghauzee ood deen Hyder, first King of Oude; and it is here
his remains are deposited. May his soul rest in peace!
