Nagram is a well-known town in the fields of education, art, culture, social, and political awareness. One of the earliest settlements of Rizvi is from Nagram. Rizvi Sadats migrated from Subzwar (Iran) and settled in Nagram around 410 Hijri (around 1027 AD). Nagram has are couple of grand old buildings called Imambargahs, which are of archaeological importance: Imambargah Wajahat Hussain (popularly known as Syed-wada), located in the center of Nagram, and Imambargah Mir Fida Hussain, which displays elements of Persian architecture. Anjuman-e-Abbasiya is the oldest and existing anjuman of Nagram. Mohalla Bangla is famous for its zamindars who used to live in this area in the late 1800s. There are four major Shia Community areas: Sayed-wada, Kothi, Bangla, and Phulwari. Kothi belongs to Rais Mir Fida Hussain, who was a prominent figured advocate and reformer who spent his life in developing the Shia beliefs, constructing mosques, shrines, and other holy sites in the region. In 19th century, with the advent of British imperialism, he was bestowed with princely and royal title of Rais. Imambargah Kothi, built by Mir Fida Hussain, is a beautiful example of Mughlai and Turkish style architecture in India. However, the zamindari system was mostly abolished in independent India soon after its creation with the first amendment to the Constitution of India. After the independence of India, Mir Fida Hussain also institutionalized and streamlined the activities of Anjuman-e-Abbasiya and was instrumental in making it financially strong. Muharram is observed here with great fervour and great enthusiasm. The significant importance attached to the event of death of Imam Hussain and consequently Muharram has shaped the cultural evolution of Nagram. Major religious activities of Azadari start on the first night of the month of Muharram and last two months and eight days. One of the important contributions of Muharram is that during this period, Syed families return to Nagram from throughout India to pay homage to the supreme scarifies of Imam Hussain. The town culture originated in the Awadh region. Many people migrated from town after the Partition of India. People from Nagram usually used "Nagrami" as the title name. Economy
