Historically, it was the capital of Awadhit controlled by Delhit’s Sultanate, which was then under the veto of the Mogulas, later under the direction of Awadhi’s Nawab. In 1856, the British East India Company abolished the local government and took full control of the city along with the rest of Awadhit and later passed it under British colonial rule in 1857. Lucknow, along with Agran and Varanasi, is one of 3 Uttar Pradesh and India architectural heritage cities, a triangular destination chain created by the Uttar Pradesh government to foster tourism development in the federal state.
Historical Background
From 1350 onward, Lucknow and parts of the Awadhit region were ruled by Delhit Sultanate, Sharq Sultanate, Mogul Empire, Awadhi Nawabs, British East India Company and British Raj. Lucknow was one of the main centers of the Indian Uprising of 1857 and actively participated in the Indian Independence Movement, emerging as an important strategic city in Northern India. Until 1719, Awadhi subah was a province of the Mogul Empire administered by a governor appointed by the Emperor Mogul. Persian adventurer Saadat Khan, also known as Burhan-ul-Mulk, was assigned the Awadhi Nation in 1722 and placed his yard in Faizabad, near Lucknow. For about eighty-four years (from 1394 to 1478), Awadhi was part of the Sultanate of Sharq i Jaunpur. Emperor Humayun made it part of the Mogul Empire around 1555. Emperor Jahangir (1569-1627) donated a property to Awadh for a beloved nobleman, Sheikh Abdul Rahim, who later built Machchi Bhawan on this property. It later became the seat of power from where his descendants, Sheikhzada, searched the region.
The Nawabs of Lucknow, in fact Awadhi’s Nawaabs, were named after the reign of Nawab third when Lucknow became their capital. The city became the cultural capital of Northern India, and its Nawabs, remembering mostly for their extravagant and refined lives, were also supporters of arts. Under their rule, music and dance flourished as well as the construction of numerous monuments. Among the monuments that survived, the most prominent examples are Bara Imambara, Chota Imambara and Rumi Darwaza. One of the longstanding legacies Nawabe is the Hindu-Muslim synthetic culture of the region, which has become known as Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb.
After the dissolution of the Mogule Empire, many independent kingdoms, such as Awadhi, were created. Nawabi third, Shuja-ud-Daula (reigned in the years 1753-1775), broke up with the British after helping escape the Nawab of Bengal, Mir Qasim. Possible in the Battle of Buxar by the British, he was forced to pay heavy tribute and surrender part of his territory. The Awadhi capital Lucknow became prominent when Asaf-ud-Daula, the fourth nawabi, moved his yard to the city from Faizabad in 1775. The British East India Company appointed an ambassador in 1773 and by the beginning of the XIX century took control of more territory and more authority in Awadhit state. Yet they were not inclined to take full control of Awadh and face the Emperor Marathas and the remains of the Mogul Empire. In 1798, fifth Nawabi Wazir Ali Khan was forced to abdicate. The British then helped Saadat Ali Khan to take the throne. He became a puppet king and in the 1801 treaty handed over part of the Awadhit East India Company, while agreeing to distribute his troops in favor of a highly costly British-controlled army. This treaty made the State of Awadhit virtually a vassal of the East India Company, though it continued to be part of the Mogul Empire nominally until 1819. The 1801 treaty provided a useful arrangement for the East India Company as they gained access to the Treasury great Awadhit, digging it on repeatedly for low interest loans. Moreover, Awadhit’s armed retention income brought them profitable profits while the territory operated as a bear state. The Nawabs were ceremonial kings, laden with show and pompousness. By the mid-nineteenth century, however, the British had become impatient with the system and demanded direct control over Awadhin. In 1856, the East India Company moved its troops to the border, then annexed the state with the charge of mismanagement. Awadhi was placed under a chief commissioner – Sir Henry Lawrence. Wajid Ali Shah, then Nawabi, was jailed then expelled from the East India Company in Calcutta. In the subsequent Indian uprising of 1857, his 14-year-old son Birjis Qadra, whose mother was Begum Hazrat Mahali, was crowned ruler but was later killed by Sir Henry Lawrence. In the aftermath of the uprising, Begum Hazrat Mahali and other Uprising leaders sought asylum in Nepal. During the uprising (also known as the First Indigenous War of India and the Indian Uprising), most East India Company troops were recruited by both the people and the nobility of Awadhi. The insurgents took control of the state and the British needed 18 months to regain the region again. During that period, the garrison located at the Residency in Lucknow was surrounded by rebel forces during the Lucknow siege. The siege was first scattered by the forces under the guidance of Sir Henry Havelock and Sir James Outram, followed by a greater force under the command of Sir Colin Campbell. Today, the ruins of Residency and Shaheed Smarak offer a picture of Lucknow’s role in the uprising of 1857.
Upon the uprising, Awdhi returned under British rule under a chief commissioner. In 1877, the offices of the vice governor of the North-West Provinces and the chief commissioner of Aadad were combined; then in 1902, the title of the chief commissioner was abolished with the formation of the United Provinces of Agras and Awadhi, though Awadhi still had some signs of his former independence. The Khilafat movement had an important support base in Lucknow, creating a united opposition to British rule. In 1901, having been Awadhi’s capital since 1775, Lucknow, with a population of 264 049, joined the newly-formed unit of the United Provinces of Agras and Oudhit. In 1920 the provincial government headquarters moved from Allahabadi to Lucknow. Until India’s Independence in 1947, the United Provinces were reorganized in Uttar Pradesh, and Lucknow remained its capital. Lucknow saw some of the important moves that changed the country’s politics forever. One of them was the meeting of Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Mohd Ali Jinnah during the 1916 convention section (the Lucknow Pact was signed and moderates and extremists joined through Annie Besant’s efforts only during this section). Congressman for that section, Ambica Charan Majumdari to say “If the convention was buried in Surat, he was reborn in Lucknow in the Wajid Ali Shah’s Garden”. In Lucknow there was also the famous Kakori incident involving Ram Prasad Bismilim, Ashfaqullah Khan, Rajendra Nath Lahir, Roshan Singhun and others followed by the Kakori trial that captured the imagination of the country. Culturally, Lucknow has also had a tradition of Kurtizan, with the folk culture that was distilled in the Umaki Jaan’s fakin avatar.
Architecture
The Lucknow Architecture School was an experiment by Awadhi’s revived Nawwab. It was an attempt to maintain the Mogule School of Architecture by experimenting with different materials and innovative concepts. Among the existing architecture in Lucknow are religious buildings such as Imambarat, mosques and other Islamic shrines as well as other centuries-old structures such as fenced gardens, baradar, brickwork complexes and so on. The distinctive architectural features of Lucknow’s architecture are as follows :
The use of fish as a decorative and thriving motif especially at the gates.
Using Chatters (a kind of dome that can stand as a separate monument) like Chattar Manzili.
Use of Baradar, twelve-door pavilion.
Rumi Darwaza, the flagship of Lucknow.
Besieged herds (kind of fenced garden) like Sikandar Baghu.
Halls covered with dome like Asaph Imambara.
Labyrinths Bhulbhulaiyan.
Using the Taikhanave.
Use of lakhauri bricks.
The Lucknow buildings represent different architectural styles with many symbol buildings constructed during British and mundle periods. More than half of these buildings are located in the old part of the city. Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department organizes a “Heritage Walk” for tourists covering the most popular monuments. Among existing architecture are religious buildings such as Imambarat, mosques, and other Islamic shrines as well as centuries-old structures such as fenced gardens, baradar, and bricklayer complexes. The Imambara Bar in Hussainabad is a colossal building built in 1784 by the then Nawabi of Lucknow, Asaf-ud-Daula. It was originally built to provide relief to hungry people who hit Uttar Pradesh in that year. It is the largest hall in Asia without any external support of wood, iron or stone beams. The monument sought roughly 22,000 workers during construction. The 18-meter-high Rumi Darwaza built by Nawabi Asaf-ud-daula (reigned 1775-1797) in 1784 served as entrance to the town of Lucknow. It is known as the Turkish Portico, as mistakenly thought it was identical to the Constantinople portico. The building offers Western entrance to the Big Imagery and is decorated with luxurious decorations.
Lucknow’s historic sites can be seen in architectural styles from different cultures. The University of Lucknow presents a great inspiration from the European style, while the Indo-Saracen Architecture is prominently present at the Vidhan Sabhas building of Uttar Pradesh and Charbagh Rail Station. Dilkusha Kothi is what is left of a palace built by British resident Gore Ouseley around 1800 and which is an example of English Baroque Architecture. It served as a hunting lodge for Awadhi Nawabs and as a summer resort. Chattar Manzil, who served as the palace of Awadhi rulers and their wives, is crowned by a dome as a umbrella called Chattar in Hindi meaning “umbrella.” Facing Chattar Manzil lies the ‘Lal Baradari’ built by Nawabi Saadat Ali Khani I between 1789 and 1814. It functions as a throne room in royal court marriages. Today’s building is used as a museum and contains delectable portraits for people who played important roles in the administration of the Kingdom of Oud.
Another example of blend of architectural styles is La Martiniere College, which represents a fusion of European and Indian motifs. It was built by Major General Claude Martin who was born in Lyon and died in Lucknow on September 13, 1800. Originally called “Constantia”, the halls of the building are with dome without using wooden beams for construction. Elements of Gothic Architecture can be distinguished in the college building. Lucky ‘s Imam Abbas presents dome domes as its architectural peculiarity. Bara Imambara, Chhota Imambara and Rumi Darwaza stand in the testament to the city of architecture style Nawab, Mogul and Turk, while the La Martiniere college features elements of the Indo-European style. Even the new buildings are stylized using cubes and columns as well as the night, these illuminated monuments become the city’s main attractions. Around the Hazratganj, the city’s main market, is a fusion of old and new architecture. It has a multi-storey car park in place of an old and demolished police station, opening the way to the wide corridors in the well-ordered alleys of plain people, decorated with squares, green areas and beautiful lightening lanterns elevated with iron, reminiscent of the Victorian Period, on both sides of the street.
