Lucknow
Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh situated along the banks of the River Gomti rose to prominence as the centre of the Nawabs of Avadh. Legend says that Lucknow derived its name from Lucknau named after Lakshmana (a character in the famous Epic Ramayan) when his elder brother Rama gave away this part of the country to him. The huge mausoleums of the nawabs and the ruins of the Residency which stood witness to one of th e most remarkable episodes in the Indian Mutiny in 1857, make it an interesting place to visit. Historically reputed as a city of culture, Lucknow is famous for its gharana of music and chickken (shadow work embroidery) work. Lucknow, the golden city of the east' retains an old world charm
that fascinates one and all. Regarded as one of the finest cities
of India, Lucknow emanates a culture that combines emotional warmth,
a high degree of sophistication, courtesy and a love for gracious
living. This sublime cultural richness famous as 'Lucknowi Tehzeeb'
blends the cultures of two communities living side by side for centuries,
sharing similar interests, speaking a common language -Urdu. Many
of the cultural traits and customs peculiar to Lucknow have become
living legends today. The credit for this goes to the Nawabs of
Awadh, who took keen interest in every walk oflife and encouraged
them to attain a rare degree of perfection. Excursion Ayodhya Nawabganj Bird Sanctuary Dewa
