The Punj Mahalla Gate, Lucknow
View through Europeana Collections
Plate 5 from the third set of Thomas and William
Daniell's 'Oriental Scenery.' This monumental gateway, which shows
the fish emblem of the Nawabs of Avadh on the spandrels, used to
lead to the palace of Nawab Shuja' al-Daula in Lucknow, mostly
built by him and his father Safdar Jang round an earlier
fortification in the period 1752-65 . The ramp within the gateway
was for allowing elephants' easy access to the inner courtyard. The
gateway is built in a simple and solid architectural style, typical
of the Late Mughal style of Lucknow at this
period.
