Chaliye aaj aapko karwate hain nawabon ke shaher Lucknow ki sair. Old Lucknow is truly incredible. Last year I took a Tanga ride to explore the famous Hussainabad area. This is what I saw1. Rumi Darwaza- This is the entry point to Lucknow and has been shown as Lahore in the movie Gadar. Also interestingly, if inverted, it looks like a million rupee necklace 2. Clock Tower- This is a very beautiful tower built by the British aping the Big Ben. Thankfully it is functional and also shows the direction of wind, hehe3. Satkhanda- The story of this abandoned 4 storey building ironically named as Satkhanda which means 7 storeys is shocking. A Nawab built it for his wife who died during the construction. So the King abandoned its construction mid way. Now the government is restoring the tower which incidentally resembles Leaning tower of Pisa. 4. Shahi Talab- The royal pond5. Chota Imambara6. Akbari Gate- I entered the bylanes of Hussainabad and saw beautiful the making of Chikankari Kurti pieces. 7. Izharson Perfumers- The oldest attar shop in Lucknow. Did some shopping too (mandatory)PS: This is an old video. I am very much at home :) | Garima Goel
