Lucknow

The capital of largest state Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow has long been a seat of administration and culture. Second only to Delhi in importance in the region, and the seventh largest city in India, Lucknow is easily accessible from all major cities in the country. Its literacy rate is much higher than what it is in the rest of the state too. All this has ensured its prominence as a centre of business and industry, education and research as well as tourism.Lucknow’s period charm, together with lingering traces of its famed courtly etiquette, sets it apart from other cities in India. No wonder films such as Umrao Jaan, Shatranj ke Khiladi and Junoon, which showcased the city’s history and culture, left their mark on Indian cinema.Vibrant and cosmopolitan Lucknow earned fame as the seat of the Nawabs of Awadh in 18th century.

Lucknow, today, is an amalgam of the ancient and the modern, both existing side by side to give special flavour to the city. Along with the latest in aerospace technology, handicrafts occupy their own niche; if the craze for cricket has spread across society, traditional wrestling retains its own fan following; and modern monuments vie for attention with the city’s more historic landmarks.
