EDITORS COMMENTS
Chattar Manzil, or Umbrella Palace, is a grand and imposing edifice located in the heart of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. Built during the British colonial rule in the early 1910s, this architectural marvel is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The Chattar Manzil, with its distinctive umbrella-like domes, stands proudly overlooking the serene Gomti River. The palace, with its large and intricately designed domes, is a stunning example of Indo-Islamic architecture. The use of red sandstone and white marble in its construction adds to its grandeur and elegance. The photo print, taken circa 1910, captures the palace in all its splendor, with the Gomti River in the foreground reflecting the palace's majestic image. The tranquil waters of the river, dotted with boats and ghats, create a picturesque scene, adding to the overall beauty of the image. The British Empire had a significant impact on Indian architecture during their colonial rule, and the Chattar Manzil is a prime example of this influence. However, it is essential to remember that the palace was built for the Nawab of Lucknow, Wajid Ali Shah, and not as a commercial venture. The Chattar Manzil, with its grandeur and historical significance, continues to be a popular tourist destination in Lucknow, attracting visitors from all over the world. This print is a beautiful reminder of the rich architectural heritage of India and the fascinating history of Lucknow.
