From the Bara Imambara, we hopped onto a tanga, & made our way to the Rumi Darwaza. Our excitement was doubled with our first horse carriage ride & the grand gateway ahead of us. The Rumi Darwaza is a gateway built under the patronage of the same Nawab & in the same year as the Bara Imambara. The front facade is a fine, fine example of Awadhi architecture! As it's an operational gateway, you've to be careful of traffic. There's no ticket to see the Rumi Darwaza.

The Satkhanda was a watchtower built in the 1800s. The iconic tower has an octagonal base, arched windows & Islamic design details. It is located next to the Husainabad Clock Tower; so, if you're in the area, you can't miss it. A reminder of Lucknow's Avadhi & colonial past.
