INDIA - Uttar Pradesh - Lucknow
Lucknow 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 in 1881. The ruins of the Lucknow Residency reminds the bloody history of the demise of this Raj era compound and is immortalised in the Museum in the Basement. This was the scene of the 1857 First Battle for Independence, referred to by the British as "The Indian Mutiny".
