About Lucknow
Lucknow, capital of Uttar Pradesh, is a city of Nawabi palaces, grand imambaras and refined Awadhi cooking beside the Gomti River.
Lucknow was the capital of the Nawabs of Awadh in the 18th and 19th centuries, who left a city of domes, gateways and gardens. The Bara Imambara, built in the 1780s, has a vast vaulted hall and an upper labyrinth, the Bhul Bhulaiya, and the Rumi Darwaza, a towering gate, stands nearby. The Chota Imambara, the Husainabad clock tower and the Residency, whose ruins carry the marks of the siege of 1857, complete a historic circuit.
