There is nothing related to temples in this post. As we had a day in our hand before returning back to Hyderabad, we halted at Lucknow.
Lucknow
We had a day break in Lucknow. The city is capital of Uttar Pradesh. Lot of places to visit here, but we saw only Bara Imambara and a bit of shopping. We were tired by this time. The weather was horrible, one reason for our tiredness. The city is famous for chikankari or shadow work embroidery on fine muslin cloth.
The places one can visit are Bara Imamabar, Chota Imamabar, Botanical garden (Islander Baugh), and State Museum.

- Bara Imambara:
- Shah Bauli
This is a seperate building at Bada Imambara. The building is of 7 floors. As you take the step down you are in the 4th floor and 3 floors down, it's a big well. It was the place where queens have their bath. Renovation work is going on at this place.
