The capital of Uttar Pradesh is a peaceful city, often mistakenly overlooked by tourists. This city is not only the center of Shia Islam in India, but also an interesting historical and architectural detour on the way to Varanasi. The mogul city of Avadh reached its zenith in the 18th century when its literature, gastronomy and architecture rivaled Delhi. The vagaries of history have not erased this precious cultural heritage; the British have added a colonial facet to the city.If you are in Uttar Pradesh at the end of November, don't miss the ten-day festival that takes place there: dance, theater and cockfights while clouds of kites fly in the sky.The city is very large. The area where the hotels are located, Hazratganj, is cut in two by the Mahatma Gandhi Marg street.
