Brief: A discussion on the culture of Lucknow, ranging from its architecture, food, recipes, and clothing to the culture and the gentleness of its residents.
Description:
"Naye mizaj ke shahron mein ji nahin lagta purane waqton ka phir se main lucknow ho jaun"
My feelings for Lucknow, where I grew up, are similar to this verse by Munawwar Rana. So let's get together and discuss what made Lucknow what it was and what it is today. To extend the metaphor of the food you will be served, expect a serving of Nawabi history, a brief discussion on Awadh architecture with a specific focus on its Shia monuments, the famous Yakhni Pulao and Kababs of Lucknow, and the traditional dress—angarkha, gharara, etc. Additionally, we will have a brief discussion on Nawab Wajid Ali Shah's promotion of Kathak and Thumri, his reign, and his exile.
Join us to rediscover the culture of Lucknow, from its architecture and food to the clothes and the innate gentleness of its residents.
