    Lucknow (/ˈlʌknaʊ/ ( listen) Lakhna'ū) is the capital city of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh,[8][9][10][11] and is also

    the administrative headquarters of the eponymous district and division. It is the eleventh-most populous
    city and the twelfth-most populous urban agglomeration of India. Lucknow has always been a multicultural city
    that flourished as a North Indian cultural and artistic hub, and the seat of power of Nawabs in the 18th and 19th
    centuries.[12] It continues to be an important centre of governance, administration, education, commerce,
    aerospace, finance, pharmaceuticals, technology, design, culture, tourism, music and poetry. [13]
    The city stands at an elevation of approximately 123 metres (404 ft) above sea level. Lucknow district covers
    an area of 2,528 square kilometres (976 sq mi).[14][15] Bounded on the east by Barabanki, on the west by Unnao,
    on the south by Raebareli and in the north by Sitapur, Lucknow sits on the northwestern shore of the Gomti
    River.
    Historically, Lucknow was the capital of the Awadh region, controlled by the Delhi Sultanate and later
    the Mughal Empire. It was transferred to the Nawabs of Awadh. In 1856, the British East India
    Company abolished local rule and took complete control of the city along with the rest of Awadh and, in 1857,
    transferred it to the British Raj.[16] Along with the rest of India, Lucknow became independent from Britain on 15
    August 1947. It has been listed as the 17th-fastest growing city in India and 74th in the world.[17]
    Lucknow, along with Agra and Varanasi, is in the Uttar Pradesh Heritage Arc, a chain of survey triangulations
    created by the Government of Uttar Pradesh to boost tourism in the state.
