Constructed under the administration of Nawab Sadat Ali Khan (1798-1814) circa 1805, Dilkusha Kothi Palace was initially a country house and a hunting lodge for the Nawabs of Awadh. The Bibiyapur Kothi is located in close proximity to the Dilkusha Kothi on the south-east side of it, which is thought to be where the ladies of the Nawabs stayed.

The architecture of the building draws inspirations from Seaton Delaval House in Northumberland, England and it was designed by Major Gore Ouseley. Also known as the Vilayati Kothi, Dilkusha Kothi had faced major impact during the first war of independence and hence, it lies in a less than perfect state with just a few towers and walls standing. During the revolt of 1857, General Henry Havelock died here and looking at the ruins now, it's not difficult to imagine the grandiosity of this venue back then.

The premises of this kothi had undergone a lot of neglect during the early times but now, the Archaeological Survey of India has been making optimum efforts to restore this beauty. The lush landscaped Dilkusha Gardens provide a much-needed respite in this pollution ridden city and it's surely a haven for shutterbugs. So if you're planning on visiting Lucknow in the coming times, make sure to put Dilkusha Kothi on your priority list.
