Lucknow’s 240-year-old Rumi Darwaza restored
The Rumi Darwaza, a historic gem of Lucknow, has reopened after nearly two years of extensive restoration work. Built in 1784 by Nawab Asaf-Ud-Daula, this 80-foot-tall gate was meticulously restored using traditional materials and methods, including surkhi, lime, mortar, and natural adhesives.
