Close by is the Chattar Manzil built by Nawab Ghazi-ud-Din Haider. A gilt umbrella over its dome gives the name (Chattar - umbrella) to this fine palace incorporating many features of European architecture. Once the royal abode, it now houses the Central Drug Research Institute of India. Just opposite to it used to be Chota Chattar Manzil, which has been rebuilt as the Office of the Commissioner of Lucknow Division.
