  1. I had no idea that lucknow had such special food.. when we visited, we just ate homecooked south indian food since I had a relative there. But i remember the beautiful bada imambara and this stunning marble temple as well & some yummy chilli pickles we bought at a store.

  29. The city of Lucknow has a magical charm surrounding it. Be it its delicious cuisine or its heart melting culture, the city leaves an everlasting impression on its visitors. It is one of the few places where one can still find people saying 'aap', 'janab', 'pehle aap', etc. Even though flats have replaces Nawabi mansions, the city is still as charismatic as before. So, visit Lucknow and lose yourself in the magic and allure of the city. thank you for shearing your post.
