Lucknow is the capital of Uttar Pradesh. Situated on the banks of Gomti River, the city is home to majestic havelis and monuments built during the Mughal era. Lucknow delicately preserves the ethos of Awadh. The city is characterised by the courteous manners of its people, known as ‘adab’ and ‘tehzeeb’. Lucknow is also famous for chikankari work (embroidery), jewellery and scrumptious Mughlai cuisine.
