"Bhul bhulaiya" - it literally means a "labyrinth". It is a famous monument of Lucknow, the capital city of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is said that the 'Nawab' of Lucknow used to play 'hide-and -seek' with his wives (the Begums) in this alley ways in the evening. The alleys look so similar that it will confuse and misguide you and you would end up in a different place every time!

Location
This was shot in the famous monument named "Bada Imambada" in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. A part of this building is named "Bhul Bhulaiya" that literally translates to "the Labyrinth". It actually is an alley way full of similar looking sub ways and sub-sub ways that misleads the adventurers.Time
