Legend whispers that "Lakshman," Lord Rama's brother, laid Lucknow's foundation in Tretayug, forever entwining the city's essence with history. The very name "Lucknow" resonates from Lakhna, an Ahir, who shaped the renowned Machhi Bhavan fort. The historic Pir Muhammad Hill in Chowk stands as the core of Old Lucknow, a hub of artisan activities and a showcase of the city's unique cultural attractions.
Emperor Akbar's division of India into provinces in 1590 crowned Lucknow as the seat of the Subedar of Awadh. A tale of destiny unfolds with Shaikh Abdul Rehim, a noble soul from Bijapur, who sought his fortune in Delhi and established his residence on Pir Muhammad Hill, birthing the iconic Machchi Bhavan.
With Asaf-ud-Daula's accession in 1775, Lucknow bloomed into a town of unparalleled splendor. The treasure trove of heritage and culture, Chowk, though weathered by time, retains a fragment of its old glamour. The market resonates with the symphony of silver being crafted, the fragrant aura of "itra" and scented oil lingering, and the promise of delightful sweets being prepared. The vibrant stalls of "Gota and Kinari," the glimmering "Sarraf Khanas," and the enchanting "Attar" shops coexist harmoniously. This dynamic hub presents a unique shopping arcade where gold and silver merchants, chikan artisans, flower vendors of Phool Wali Gali, and zari-kamdani experts converge.
