Popularly known as the seat of the Nawabi culture, Lucknow stands out as a
city that takes pride in the endearing but subdued articulation of its
essence and identity. Its mystical elegance and amorous ethos rarely fail to
fascinate a perceptive mind. Indeed, it is difficult to remain unimpressed
by its 'tehzeeb' (cultural refinement), hospitality, politesse, cuisines and
'Shaam-e-Awadh'. At the same time, Lucknow is placed among the fastest
growing cities of India and is rapidly emerging as a manufacturing,
commercial and retailing hub. This unique combination of rich cultural
traditions and brisk economic growth provides Lucknow with an aura that
refuses to fade away. |
