LUCKNOW(INDIA): A DREAM CULTURE AND ARCHITECTURE!

4th Gallery on Lucknow, India, January 2006, by JARIS

LUCKNOW in Northern India, is a shining star and a showpiece of its culture, tradition,soft-spoken language, courtesy,friendliness, religious tolerance and harmony. It is rich in history but it has tried to keep abreast of modern advances in science, arts and medicine. It is called "The City of Parks and Gardens." In entertainment, it has never been behind any large cosmopolitan city. This 4th gallery on Lucknow takes the viewer on an enchanting tour of ins and outs of the city. I hope, this will not be my last gallery on this unforgettable and glorious spot in the Indian subcontinent.

I fondly dedicate all Lucknow galleries to 3 esteemed local friends, who had the patience and who sacrificed their time to take and show me around the interesting sites, and for their wise counsel. They are: Dr.Jalal, Dr. Jamal, and (lamentably,deceased)Munir.

Please double click to open the gallery or see an enlarged picture. Thank you. JARIS

What a treat indeed!I wish there were some glimpses of the old domestic architecture of the city- from somewhere in the Chawk area, Nakhkhas, Jhawaitola etc. The one for IT could have been a better one. Couldn't cross the barbed wires?

Really Nice Pics... I was looking 4 some nice snaps of Lucknow and same is available here.... Also available are olds pictures when we were not in that world :) .... All these pics reminds me of Lucknow & its Tehzeeb.... I Miss you too muck LUCK_now!!!

SAMEER		11-May-2009 09:07
dear web master, this is a great work but incomplete because you forgot to add the main and the most important and significant and magnificient and historic monuments "THE IMAMBARAS OF LKO." An other fact the IMAMBARA and ALLIED TRUST once owned about 85% of lko. and stil some majour Govt. instutions are the propery of THE IMAMBARAS and ALLIED TRUST, e.g. VIDHANSABHA, GOVERNER'S RESIDENCE, CHARBAGH RAILWAYSTATION, ETC. AND MAJOUR PART OF HAZRATGUNJ.

Kulsoom		24-Mar-2009 17:37
you have failed to include the most important features of Lucknow's architectural heritate - the Imambaras! they are some of the few bulidings to survive in Lucknow built by Indian patrons, rather than the legacies of the British Raj

gr8 amit		11-Nov-2008 10:36

Absolutely gorgeous pics of Lucknow that capture its magical essence. Kindly consider uploading them in Wikipedia pages for Lucknow and La Martiniere. Regards

Payal		29-Jun-2007 18:42
Really nice pix. I used to live in lko and have fond memories of the city. But was kind of dissapointed to see only the pix of Boys' La Martiniere. Being a student of the Girls La Martiniere i was expecting at least one pic of my school. And also no IT college. The building is really nice and so is the library. But anyways gr8 pix once again.

Ankur		13-Jun-2007 04:32
I have been to each and every place! Just felt as if I am still there. Somwhere if you can see me. Ah I miss my city

Chandra		14-Feb-2006 03:54
Finally some pictures of another ignored city. Great effort! Did you by any chance take pictures of modern Lucknow or such a thing doesn't exist assuming how historic the place is?

dr.k.jamaluddin		20-Jan-2006 17:00
excellent photos and commentary. la martiniere photos are excellent. it was as if going down memory lanes. moreover many photos displayed in the gallery have been taken accompanied with me so i feel more proud. lucknow is extremely lucky to have a genuine lover miles and miles away but still remembering so fondly. dr jamal, lucknow, india
