About

A striking 18th-century ornamental gateway built in 1784 by Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula, standing 54 feet tall in Indo-Islamic style with intricate stone carvings and arches.

Did you know? The name "Rumi" comes from the Ottoman-influenced architectural style, as the Nawab of Lucknow drew inspiration from the Islamic architecture of the contemporary Ottoman Empire.
