Places of interest in Lucknow
Bara Imambara
Built in 1784 by the fourth Nawab
of Oudh, Asaf-ud-Daula, the Bara Imambara
is Lucknow’s most famous monument. An
Imambara is where Muslims commence celebrations
for the festival of Muharram.
Husainabad Clock Tower
In the same complex is the huge and
ornate Rumi Darwaza, or Turkish Gate, also
built in 1784. Nearby is the Husainabad Clock
Tower that has the largest clock in India.
Towering to a height of 67m, this Victorian-Gothic
Clock Tower was designed in the 1880s, by
Roskell Payne. A mosque with two tall minarets
is located near the Clock Tower.
Chota Imambara
The Chota Imambara, or the Husainabad Imambara,
is also known as the Palace of Lights. Built
in 1837, the Chota Imambara is called the
Palace of Lights because of its chandeliers
that come alive during the Muslim festival
of Muharram.
The Chota Imambara, with its golden dome,
silver throne and gold-edged mirrors, is the
grander of the two Imambaras. The Mughal Emperor,
Muhammad Shah began the construction of the
Jami Masjid. Situated towards the west of
the Chota Imambara, the Jami Masjid was completed
by the emperor’s wife in the mid-1840s.
British Residency
The Residency became the stronghold
of the British for 87 days during the Revolt
of 1857, and is now in ruins.
Within its walls are numerous stories related
to the siege, when 3,000 British men, women
and children escaped from their homes to seek
refuge in these red brick buildings.
They fought Indian sepoys, the blistering
heat and disease, until Sir Colin Campbell
defeated the Indian forces on November 17.
Only 1,000 of those who had taken shelter
in the Residency survived.
SHOPPING
IN LUCKNOW
Buying Lucknowi chikan work will be the obvious
thing to do while shopping in Lucknow.The
city of Lucknow is synonymous with the fine
art of embroidery-chikankari (shadow work)
and zardosi (silver and gold embroidery).
The world-renowned chikan work garments, be
it saris, kurtas or dupattas make excellent
gifts to carry home.
If you are fond of jewellery, then Lucknow
is the place to shop for gold and silver ornaments
with exquisite filigree (metal ornamentation)
and jadau (gem studded). Gadbadjhala is a
bazaar where you can check out jewellery,
especially the huge jhumkas which are enviable
possessions.
The main shopping areas are Hazratganj, Janpath,
Aminabad, Yayaganj, Kapoorthala and the Chowk.Although
you can find chikan-work shops in almost all
the markets in Lucknow, Chowk is the main
wholesale market.
If you are looking for souvenirs from across
the state of Uttar Pradesh and from different
parts of India under one roof, the best bet
is Gangotri, the official handicrafts shop
of the UP State Tourism Department.
