Lucknow District (Hindi: लखनऊ ज़िला, Urdu: لکھنؤ ضلع‎) is the capital city of the state Uttar Pradesh and is the largest city in Uttar Pradesh[7]. City is famous for its courtly mannerism, refinement, mouthwatering cuisine, art, music and poetry patronized by Persian loving shia nawabs of the city. This metro city is the administrative headquarters of Lucknow District and Lucknow Division. Lucknow has 8 state assembly seats namely Lucknow East, Lucknow west, Lucknow North, Lucknow Central, Lucknow Cantt, Sarojni Nagar, MohanlalGanj(Schedule Cast), Bakshi ka talab. In addition it has 2 Parliamentary constituencies namely Lucknow and Mohanlalganj.  Lucknow has always been known as a multicultural city, and flourished as a cultural and artistic capital of North India in the 18th and 19th centuries.[1]

Located on 26° 30’-27° 10’ North latitude and 80° 30’-81° 13’ East longitude, Lucknow is situated 123 meters above sea level. Lucknow is spread over an area of 2528 sq.km is surrounded by Barabanki on East, Unnao West, Raebareily on south, Sitapur and Hardoi districts on north. The birth place of Sir Cliff Richard and the resident city of business tycoon Mr. Subrato Roy, is famous for historical buildings constructed in the times of Nawabs and is now thriving and an important centre for commerce, aerospace, finance, pharmaceuticals, technology, design, tourism, music and poetry.[3]

History 

Avadh is claimed to be among the most ancient of Hindu states. According to popular legend, the city is named after Lakshmana, a hero of the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana. Ramchandra of Ayodhya, the hero of the Ramayana, gifted the territory of Lucknow to his devoted brother Lakshman after he had conquered Sri Lanka and completed his term of exile in the jungle. Therefore, people say that the original name of Lucknow was Lakshmanpur, popularly known as Lakhanpur or Lachmanpur.

From 1350 onwards, Lucknow and parts of the Awadh region were ruled by the Delhi Sultanate, Sharqi Sultanate, Mughal Empire, Nawabs of Awadh, the British East India Company (EIC) and the British Raj. Lucknow was one of the major centres of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and actively participated in India's independence movement, emerging as a strategically important North Indian city.

After the conquest of Kanauj by the Afghans at the end of the twelfth century, Avadh submitted to the Sultan of Ghazni, and so became part of the empire of Delhi. Avadh then asserted its independence for a while under a Muslim ruler, but he was over- thrown by Babur, and Avadh became a subah or province of the Moghul Empire. 

As the Moghul power declined and the emperors lost their paramountcy and they became first the puppets and then the prisoners of their feudatories, so Avadh grew stronger and more independent. Its capital city was Faizabad. The City was established in 1775 as the nawab of Awadh moved his capital from Faizabad to Lucknow.

Of all the Muslim states and dependencies of the Moghul Empire, Avadh had the newest royal family. They were descended from a Persian adventurer called Sadat Khan, originally from Khurasan in Persia. There were many Khurasanis in the service of the Moghuls, mostly soldiers, and if successful, they could hope for rich rewards. Sadat Khan proved to be amongst the most successful of this group. In 1732, he was made governor of the province of Avadh. His original title was Nazim, which means Governor, but soon he was made Nawab. In 1740, the Nawab was called Wazir or vizier, which means Chief Minister, and thereafter he was known as the NawabWazir. In practice, from Sadat Khan onwards, the titles had been hereditary, though in theory they were in the gift of the Moghul emperor, to whom allegiance was paid. A nazar, or token tribute, was sent each year to Delhi, and members of the imperial family were treated with great deference: two of them actually lived in Lucknow after 1819, and were treated with great courtesy.

Architecture[1]

Lucknow's buildings show different styles of architecture with the many iconic buildings built during British and Mughal era. More than half of these buildings lie in the old part of the city. The Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department organises a "Heritage Walk" for tourists covering the popular monuments.  Among the extant architecture there are religious buildings such as Imambaras, mosques, and other Islamic shrines as well as secular structures such as enclosed gardens, baradaris, and palace complexes. Few icnic architectures in the city are: Rumi Darwaza, AsafiImambara (Bara Imambara), ChhotaImambara, Jama Masjid, Clock Tower, Hussainabad Picture Gallery, Shahnajaf Imambara, Residency, Kaiserbagh Palace Complex, Tombs of Saadat Ali Khan & Khurshid Zadi, Shaheed Smarak (Martyrs' Memorial) Dilkusha, Lord Hanuman Temples of Aliganj, Charbagh Railway Station, Vidhan Bhawan, Gurudwara Yahiyaganj, SikandarBagh, National Botanical Research Institute, La Martiniere Churches, Jain & Buddha Temples, Indira Gandhi Planetarium, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Park, Chhatar Manzil, Kukrail Reserve Forest, Nawab Wazid Ali Shah Prani Udyan(Zoo), State Museum , Lok Kala Sangrahalaya, Motilal Nehru Children Museum, Gandhi Museum, Regional Science, City Dargah-e-Sabri, Kalagaon (Arts Village), Anora Temples and forts, Dewa Sharif.

Bara Imambara in Hussainabad is a colossal edifice built in 1784 by the then Nawab of Lucknow, Asaf-ud-Daula. It was originally built to provide assistance to people affected by the deadly famine, which struck the whole of Uttar Pradesh in the same year. It is the largest hall in Asia without any external support from wood, iron or stone beams. The monument required approximately 22,000 labourers during construction.

The 60 feet (18 m) tall Rumi Darwaza, built by Nawab Asaf-ud-daula (r. 1775–1797) in 1784, served as the entrance to the city of Lucknow. It is also known as the Turkish Gateway, as it was erroneously thought to be identical to the gateway at Constantinople. The edifice provides the west entrance to the Great Imambara and is embellished with lavish decorations.

Styles of architectures from various cultures can be seen in the historical places of Lucknow. The University of Lucknow shows a huge inspiration from the European style while Indo-Saracenic Revival architecture is prominently present in the Uttar Pradesh Vidhan Sabha building and Charbagh Railway station. DilkushaKothi is the remains of a palace constructed by the British resident Major Gore Ouseley around 1800 and showcases an example of English Baroque architecture. It served as a hunting lodge for the Nawab of Awadhs and as a summer resort.

The Chattar Manzil, which served as the palace for the rulers of Awadh and their wives is topped by an umbrella-like dome and so named on account of Chattar being the Hindi word for "umbrella". Opposite Chattar Manzil stands the 'Lal Baradari' built by Nawab Saadat Ali Khan I between 1789 and 1814. It functioned as a throne room at coronations for the royal courts. The building is now used as a museum and contains delicately executed portraits of men who played major roles in the administration of the kingdom of Oudh.

Another example of mixed architectural styles is La Martiniere College, which shows a fusion of Indian and European ideas. It was built by Major-General Claude Martin who was born in Lyon and died in Lucknow on 13 September 1800. Originally named "Constantia", the ceilings of the building are domed with no wooden beams used for construction. Glimpses of Gothic architecture can also be seen in the college building.

Lucknow's Asafi Imambara exhibits vaulted halls as its architectural speciality. The Bara Imambara, Chhota Imambara and Rumi Darwaza stand in testament to the city's Nawabi mixture of Mughlai and Turkish style of architecture while La Martiniere college bears witness to the Indo-European style. Even the new buildings are fashioned using characteristic domes and pillars, and at night these illuminated monuments become the city's main attractions.

Around Hazratganj, the city's main market, there is a fusion of old and modern architecture. It has a multi-level parking lot in place of an old and dilapidated police station making way for extending the corridors into well-aligned pebbled pathways, adorned with piazzas, green areas and wrought-iron Tall, beautifully crafted cast-iron lamp-posts, reminiscent of the Victorian era, flank both sides of the street
