Dilkusha Garden
The magnificent Dilkusha Palace is located in the Lucknow cantonment region, northeast of Raj Bhavan. Even though the building is now in ruins, the remnants of Nawab Sadat Ali Khan and Nasir ud din Haider's architecturally impressive and artistically stunning work are easily seen. Dilkusha Kothi is an 18th-century home built in the English exuberant style in Lucknow's serene Dilkusha area of Lucknow. It played a significant role in the 1857 Seige of Lucknow. It is a lovely location for tourists, evening strolls, leisure, and relaxation, but today there are just remnants of amazing constructions in the form of walls, towers, and lush green gardens.
