Hosseini Dalan or Imambara is a Shia shrine and cemetery located in Bakshibazar, Old Dhaka, Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.

It was built in the 16th century during the Mughal rule. The building commemorates the death of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Muhammad, in the desert of Karbala.


It was built during the Subedari of Prince Shah Shuja (r. 1639–1647 and 1652–1660), son of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Although Shuja was a Sunni Muslim, he patronized Shia institutions too. According to tradition, “Mir Murad had a vision of Imam Hussain erecting a 'taziah khana' or house of mourning which led to the construction of Hussaini Dalan.
