• Chattar Manzil - The Chattar Manzil, also known as the Umbrella Palace, is a historic building located in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. It served as a royal residence for the rulers of Awadh and their consorts.
• Bara Imambara - The Bara Imambara in Lucknow is one of the city’s most renowned landmarks. Also called Asfi Imambara, named after the Nawab of Lucknow who commissioned its construction, it is believed that the building’s construction began in 1785 during a severe famine in Awadh. The Nawab aimed to provide employment to the local population for nearly a decade during the famine. It is a significant place of worship for Muslims who gather here annually to observe the religious festival of Muharram. The Imambara is famous for its remarkable maze, known locally as Bhul Bhulaiya, located on the upper floor. The Bara Imambara boasts a unique architectural style. Its central hall, reputed to be the largest arched hall in the world, measures 50 meters in length and reaches a height of 15 meters. The entire structure is constructed using Lakhanui bricks, which are slightly smaller in size, and lime plaster. No wood or metal was used in the construction, except for the interior galleries. While the Bara Imambara is impressive on its own, the extraordinary labyrinth of corridors on its upper floor (Bhul Bhulaiya) is the main attraction!
• The Residency - The Residency was the site of significant events during the first war of independence in 1857, also known as the Siege of Lucknow. The siege began on July 1 and lasted until November 17, 1857. Originally built for the British Resident during the reign of Nawab Saadat Ali Khan between 1780-1800, it was a large complex comprising residential quarters, an armory, stables, dispensaries, places of worship, and more. The main building overlooks the Gomti River and is surrounded by terraced lawns and gardens. Today, only the ruins remain, bearing witness to the upheaval of 1857. The cemetery at the nearby ruined church contains the graves of 2,000 men, women, and children, including Sir Henry Lawrence, who perished during the siege. Additionally, there is a Residency Museum located within the complex.
• Rumi Darwaza - The Rumi Darwaza is said to mirror the design of an ancient portal in Constantinople, Turkey, and is also known as the Turkish Gate. This grand, ornate structure is distinguished by an eight-faceted chhatri (umbrella) at its pinnacle. Historically, it marked the entrance to Old Lucknow City and is now recognized as a symbol of Lucknow. It was constructed by Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula to create employment during the 1784 famine.
