Architecture
• Bara Imambara in Hussainabad is a colossal edifice built in 1784 by the then Nawab of
Lucknow, Asaf-ud-Daula. It is the largest hall in Asia without any external support from
wood, iron or stone beams.
• The 60 feet (18 m) tall Rumi Darwaza, built by Nawab Asaf-ud-daula (r. 1775–1797) in
1784, served as the entrance to the city of Lucknow. It is also known as the Turkish
Gateway, as it was erroneously thought to be identical to the gateway at Constantinople.
• The Chattar Manzil, which served as the palace for the rulers of Awadh and their wives is
topped by an umbrella-like dome and so named on account of Chattar being the Hindi La Martiniere College
word for "umbrella". 
• An example of mixed architectural styles is La Martiniere College, which shows a fusion
of Indian and European ideas.  Originally named "Constantia", the ceilings of the
building are domed with no wooden beams used for construction. Glimpses of Gothic
architecture can also be seen in the college building.

• The Bara Imambara, Chhota Imambara and Rumi Darwaza stand in testament to the
city's Nawabi mixture of Mughlai and Turkish style of architecture while La Martiniere
college bears witness to the Indo-European style. Even the new buildings are fashioned
using characteristic domes and pillars, and at night these illuminated monuments become
the city's main attractions.
Rumi Darwaza
• Around Hazratganj, the city's main market, there is a fusion of old and modern
architecture. It has a multi-level parking lot in place of an old and dilapidated police
station making way for extending the corridors into well-aligned pebbled pathways,
adorned with piazzas, green areas and wrought-iron, tall, beautifully crafted cast-iron
lamp-posts, reminiscent of the Victorian era, flank both sides of the street.

Bada Imambara

in Lucknow's history and is still used in the city's rural areas and by the urban
population on the streets.
• The Awadh region has its own distinct "Nawabi"-style cuisine. The best-known
dishes of this area consist of biryanis, kebabs and breads. Kebabs are served in a
variety of styles: kakori, galawati, shami, boti, patili-ke, ghutwa and seekh are
among the available varieties. Sheermal is a type of sweet bread (paratha)
prepared only in Lucknow.
• The classical Indian dance form Kathak took shape in Lucknow. Lachhu Kathak Dance form
Maharaj, Acchchan Maharaj, Shambhu Maharaj, and Birju Maharaj have kept
this tradition alive.
• Lucknow is known for embroidery works
including chikankari, zari, zardozi, kamdani, and gota making (goldlace
weaving). Chikankari is a popular embroidery work well known all over
India. This 400-year-old art in its present form was developed in Lucknow and it
