Roaming in the city of Nawabs..
Part I
Hello everyone!! I was off the blogging world for about a week as I had some urgent things to do that required me to run around. But my chore also required me to go to another city which i turned into work cum short break!! Though clubbing sight seeing with work turned out to be a very hectic experience; given that I am not in the pink of my health right now; but I enjoyed every moment of my stay in Lucknow, the city of Nawabs nonetheless!!
The name of this city is after Lakshman, the younger brother of Lord Rama and it stands on the banks of Gomti river. However it gained political importance during the Mughal dynasty when the Mughal emperors appointed Nawabs (Muslim Noblemen) for their smooth administration. Nawabs were the epitome of luxurious lifestyle; and therefore that laidback attitude exists even today in the lifestyle of lucknow people.
Being such an ancient city, there are lot many structures to visit here; the trademark exquisite Mughal architecture. The main points of historical interest are :
Bada Imambada ( the famous Labyrinth or Bhool Bhulaiyya is here)
Chhota Imambada
Roomi Darwaza
Ghanta ghar
Hazrat ganj
Residency
I had plans of covering as much as possible but my office work took so much time on the first day that I hardly had time to roam around. Lucknow had always been my hubby's city.He is a medical graduate from the eminent King George Medical College. and he knows this city more than his birthplace. So he took a bike from his friend and I zoomed around the city as his pillion :)
On the first day of my 2 day trip, it was almost 6 pm when I got free. Famished and exhausted, Hubby took me to taste the famous Awadhi cuisine. As it was almost dark, I could just pay a visit to two beautiful mosques.
.
My second and the last day was much fruitful, which I am going to elaborate in my subsequent posts...
I wore:
Top: Globus
Pants: Globus
