Lucknow

Lucknow, a large city in northern India, is the capital of the state of Uttar Pradesh. Toward its center is Rumi Darwaza, a Mughal gateway. Nearby, the 18th-century Bara Imambara shrine has a huge arched hall. Upstairs, Bhool Bhulaiya is a maze of narrow tunnels with city views from its upper balconies. Close by, the grand Victorian Husainabad Clock Tower was built as a victory column in 1881. Lucknow is one of the most visited cities in the country. Although travelers mainly flock here for the famous Lucknowi delicacies like kebabs and biryanis, there are several places of interest that are worth visiting.
