Awadh, Historical region in Uttar Pradesh, India
Awadh extends across northern India's fertile plains, encompassing cities like Lucknow and Faizabad within the modern state of Uttar Pradesh.
The region emerged as an independent state in 1732 under the Nawabs, who ruled until 1856 when the British East India Company annexed the territory.
The region preserves the tradition of Awadhi cuisine, which incorporates Persian cooking methods with local ingredients to create specific kebabs and biryanis.
Modern transportation networks connect major cities within Awadh through railways and highways, making travel between Lucknow, Faizabad, and surrounding areas efficient.
The Bara Imambara in Lucknow contains an intricate network of corridors forming a labyrinth across three floors without any external support.
