Rumi Darwaza, Turkish gateway in Lucknow, India
The Rumi Darwaza reaches a height of 60 feet and features a large central arch crowned with an octagonal dome and intricate floral patterns.
Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula commissioned the construction of this monumental gateway in 1784 during a period of widespread famine to generate employment for the population.
The architecture merges Persian arches, Indian decorative elements, and Ottoman design principles, reflecting the multicultural influences in Lucknow during the 18th century.
The monument stands between Bara Imambara and Chota Imambara, with access from Charbagh Railway Station located 4 kilometers away.
The structure contained a water system that created fountains from the top of its central pavilion, connecting directly to the Gomti River.
