The history of the Sikander Bagh goes back to the 1800 which was spread as a garden by Nawab Saadat Ali Khan. During the British rule it was known as the Secundra Bagh. This is actually a villa and a garden which is enclosed by a wall which has a gateway, loopholes and corner bastions. This garden is laid out in an area of 150 square yards, which is approx 4.5 acres, located in the beautiful city of Lucknow. In today’s modern world it has been converted to the National Botanical Research Institute of India. The garden had a small pavilion in which numerous performances like the “Kathak” dances, “Ras-Lilas”, and the “mehfils”, which is a gathering of poets, as well as other cultural activities, were carried out. There is small mosque also laid out within the premises. The main gate of the garden has been locked; however the small side gate is usually kept open.
