Although many people believe that Lucknow’s finest period was during the time of the nawabs, its history did not begin in 1775 when the court of Awadh returned to Lucknow permanently, any more than it finished in 1856 when the last nawab Wajid Ali Shah traveled into exile and Lucknow presented the picture of a looted city. Pre-nawabi Lucknow was a flourishing city that lay mainly to the south of the Gomti with several Mughals structures along the river. Under the nawabs the city became synonymous with extravagance, the creative arts and patronage of artists and extraordinary buildings.
