Bargah E Hussainia in Baqar Ganj, Fatehpur. This site functions as a local mosque and imambargah (a Shia congregational hall often used for mourning rituals commemorating Imam Hussain AS), reflecting the vibrant Shia Muslim community in the region. It is particularly active during Muharram and Safar, with processions and majlis (gatherings) held here, as evidenced by local recordings of events like the 19 Safar Juloos-e-Chehlum in Baqarganj Imambargah Fatehpur.
