Revisit The Rumi Darwaza Through Chikankari

The Rumi Darwaza of Lucknow is one of the most remarkable architectural structures in India.

It was constructed in the year 1784 by Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula and is one of the finest examples of the marvellous artistry of Awadh. The famous landmark also goes by the name Turkish Gateway due to its design similarity to a gateway in ancient Constantinople.
