DAY-XIX: Lucknow-Kanpur

Some 100 odd kilometers and our destination was Kanpur. The road was already experienced once when we were coming from Agra. Bad roads, busy traffic and scorching heat were the only words to explain. Still we were following our old schedule as always :)

The most happening thing was the 'VIP Nano'...

This car belongs to Mr. Umesh Mittal, IAS and having a red light and as well as a VIP number 9000.
He also flagged-off our voyage from Lucknow. And he is the first Nano customer of Goldrush Motors..







A HAPPY onlooker who already has booked the car...

DAY-XVIII: Around Lucknow - A Photo Feature

A short tour around the City and see what our Superdrive Nano has seen...

Maqbara of Mushirzadi (Protected Monument)...


Baradari...




Nawab's Palace...


Lucknow 'Bidhansabha'...


The controversial 'Ambedkar Park'. But I must say it has changed the whole skyline of the city as I already have seen this city without it. Was allowed inside with my Nano for few minutes, but managed to get these shots which are good according to me. Captures from this place just made my day, would love to shoot all the 3 cars at this so photogenic place and the Nanos would made it more glamorous.

The grand Gateways...

DAY-XVIII: Lucknow City Events

Lucknow, capital of Uttar Pradesh state is better known as 'City of Nawabs and Kababs'. This 13th century city of 'Abadh Region' is a multicultural city and is rich in Architecture.

'Asafi Imambara' or popularly known as 'Bada Imambara' was our first landmark location. Imambara menas 'Shrine' and this was built by Asaf-ud-daulah, Nawab of Lucknow in 1784. And it is the grandest building of Lucknow. According to legends, there are underground tunnels from here connected with Faizabad, Allahabad and even Delhi. They exist but have been sealed after a period of long disuse as well as fears over the disappearance of people who had purportedly gone missing, while exploring.

At 'Bada Imambara'...




Secondly we went to 'Sahid Smarak Park'...




Local media there...
