Foreword
Lucknow is one of the most beautiful cities of India adorned with rich and fascinating historical monuments, capturing four hundred years of its pristine glory. The history of Lucknow can be studied mostly from its magnificent monumental heritage, not just the protected monuments but also the ancient remains, streets, gardens, bridges, markets and civic structures, marking the development of its architecture and landscape.
This book highlights the art and architecture of Lucknow, particularly the water management system as revealed through archaeological excavations conducted by the author at the Residency, Musabagh and Shahi Baoli etc. The religious monuments such as Imambaras and Mosques reveal a distinct Persian influence, while the secular buildings like the Palaces of Nawabs as well as Colonial Structures are more European in style. Some of its best architectural specimens like La-Martiniere College lie beyond the main city.
Dr. R.S. Fonia has done a commendable job. He has presented a dependable and coherent account of the architectural heritage of the city of Lucknow. The book contains the scholarly opinions and views of the author. I am sure this will generate serious interest among professionals and the laity.
