Nirala Nagar of Lucknow

Nirala Nagar of Lucknow

Built on a graveyard in 1960 on the cremation ground by the Lucknow improvement trust.Senior citizens recall that when the Lucknow Improvement Trust drew up the colony in 1960 there was a large crematorium, two large graveyards and a temple, six mazaars and a peepal tree where the ashes of the dead were deposited. 

Nirala Nagar, Lucknow’s haunted colony. Two out of ten houses here are unoccupied. Servants live in a few, the owners stay away, in others the house owner met with a tragic end or suffered a major loss in business and then left the area. Very few children are seen on the streets, in fact there are hardly any children in the colony. An eerie silence descends in the evening.

 

What is it that makes Nirala Nagar so unique? What is the secret of its drab moroseness? It seems only girl children are born in Nirala Nagar and they excel in their careers, boys are hardly ever seen. In case a boy is born, he will never be the eldest, as the first child in the family will be a girl. The second striking feature is the absence of young people and children.  

Regarding the children People says more girls will be born in Nirala Nagar, because they are reincarnations of dead girl children who were buried in the colony and he provides logic for this. The girl child was a victim of neglect in the era of the 60s and 80s and more girls must have been buried in the colony than boys. The colony is named after Surya Kant Tripathi Nirala, a famous poet who died in abject poverty. Nirala means unique and the story of Nirala Nagar is indeed unique! 

According to Astrologer  cremation ground should never be used for making a colony ,thier residents will never flourish, they will always have something unfulfilled in their lives, whether it is children or old age security or financial security or health.
