Lucknow, Capital city in Uttar Pradesh, India

The streets of Old Lucknow contain palaces and religious buildings with Indo-Islamic architecture, connecting multiple cultural districts through narrow lanes and passages.

During the 18th century, Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula moved the capital from Faizabad to Lucknow, initiating the construction of numerous architectural landmarks across the city.

The Bara Imambara complex houses a central hall measuring 50 meters in length, demonstrating advanced architectural techniques without using metal, concrete, or wood supports.

The winter months from October to March provide temperatures between 15-25°C, making it the most suitable period to explore the monuments and gardens.

The Bhool Bhulaiya inside Bara Imambara contains 489 identical doorways arranged in a geometric pattern forming an intricate three-dimensional maze.
