Revisit The Rumi Darwaza Through Chikankari

The Rumi Darwaza of Lucknow is one of the most remarkable architectural structures in India. The term “Rumi” is derived from modern-day Rome that once used to be Istanbul, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. 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. From the octagonal umbrella to the intricate floral patterns, every carving on this masterpiece speaks volumes of Awadh’s unique style and eye for detail.

Another example of Lucknow’s artistic finesse and craftsmanship is chikankari. Chikan, in the literal sense, means ’embroidery’. The exquisite, handcrafted artwork was introduced by the Mughal Queen of the Emperor Jehangir, Noor Jehan.
