Lucknow The Historic City
The book focuses on the development of Lucknow city’s unique architecture through ages particularly in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (i.e. Mughal era architecture and Nawabi architecture and the hybrid style with European elements) with reference to its socio-cultural development. A good number of popular as well as lesser known monuments of Lucknow are covered under this study. The book is a result of pressing demands of scholars and visitors, which made the Department of Cultural Affairs of U.P government commission it through INTACH in 1993.
