Lucknow is most famously known as the city of Nawabs. The name, though many think is given to the city because it was ruled by the Nawabs for many years, is more so because of the impact the Nawabs had on Lucknow's culture and its common life.

Much like a lover looking up to his beloved or a devotee to his 'master' for inspiration, Lucknow too coloured itself in the colours of the Nawabs that ruled the city & its gentle people. So here's reminiscing the olden days and taking a glance at everything that the Nawabs of Oudh built and bestowed Lucknow with.
