DESCRIPTION
Lucknow, the Capital of Oudh glorifies the royalty of Nawabs. The westerner's see it as a scene of grim struggle. Lucknow, in spite of its internal struggle still holds its charm and interest. As the centre of Muslim culture in India, it makes special appeal to those, whose sympathies are intellectually inclined. The city built by Laxmana, the illustrious brother of Lord Ram stands tall, after being colonized by the followers of dred, Mahmud of Ghazini, who converted it into the capital of Oudh. The capital finally got annexed by the British empire. The admirers of splendor will feel in awe with the palaces, Imambaras, Maqbaras and Gardens built by the prodigal Kings of Oudh. Apart from historical, intellectual, archaeological consideration, it also impressed as a prosperous and modern city, rich in handsome shops, schools and public institutions of every kind.
