This is the wonderful place in Lucknow I stayed here last 7-8 years and this is heart hub pf Lucknow you should need to visit if you are looking for any vibes.

Hazratganj got its name in 1842, and is popularly known as ‘Ganj’. After the First War of Independence in 1857, the British took over the city of Lucknow and Hazratganj was modeled after Queen Street in London. In 2010, after nearly 200 years, Hazratganj received a makeover.Buildings were painted in a uniform color, and stone pavements and Victorian style balustrades were constructed to enhance the architecture.Lucknow is renowned for the art of Chikankari (Chikan embroidery). It is believed to have been introduced by Nur Jehan, the wife of Mughal emperor Jahangir.Done using various techniques and a variety of textile fabrics, it is a popular choice among tourists visiting the city. At Hazratganj, you can find a variety of Chikan work at numerous stores in the Janpath Market. Hazratganj is also the hub for various other handicrafts and handmade objects. To name but a few, Kashmir Government Arts Emporium and Gandhi Ashram deserve a visit from handicraft connoisseurs.

The Hazratganj Market, a century-old shopping area located in the heart of Lucknow, is where you can find the city’s vibrant soul. Housing numerous showrooms, factory outlets, restaurants, shopping complexes, malls, and theatres, the place is a shopper’s paradise. The Ganj Carnival held here on the second Sunday of every month is a major crowd puller. While you are here, don’t forget to cater to your hunger pangs at the Royal Café, J.J Bakers, the Cherry Tree Café or the other eateries dotting the area.

Nice

In 1842, the name of the area was changed to Hazratganj after Nawab Amjad Ali Shah, who was popularly known by his alias Hazrat.After the First War of Independence in 1857, Britishers took over the city and Hazratganj was modelled after Londons Queen Street. Many old Mughal style buildings were demolished and new European structures came up.Ring Theatre, the present GPO, served add the Ball Room and theatre for the British officers and was called Entertainment Centre. Its another matter that its doors would be closed for the natives. This place was exclusively for the Britishers and natives were barred from entering. Later on, it was converted into a special court and witnessed the hearing for the Kakori Conspiracy case. In 1929–1932, the building was renovated in Gothic style and a clock tower was constructed in the centre and The GPO, which was then situated in Janpath, was shifted to this building after that.When Amjad Ali Shah died, his son Wajid Ali Shah got an Imambara constructed in Sibtainabad at a cost of 10 Lacs. The magnificent edifice is now called Sibtainabad Imambara, which is a centrally protected monument, and a Shia wakf under the UP Shia Central Board of Wakfs, and situated on Mahatma Gandhi Marg, Opposite Halwasiya Market. The monument, which was under heavy encroachments and neglect has recently been restored to its old glory and is a Heritage Lovers delight.The Indian Coffee House (ICHcame up during the First World War (1914–1918and was then owned by the Filmistan cinema which today is known as Sahu Cinema. Unlike Mayfair and Ring Theatre, ICH was crowded by Indians all the time. In the 1920s, the place became a paradise for journalists and writers and thinkers like Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Atal Bihari V, Chandra Shekhar to Yashpal, Amritlal Nagar , Bhagwati Charan Verma and Anand Narain Mulla who expressed their views over a cup of coffee. On August 16, 2019, it was renamed to "Atal Chowk", to honor the late prime minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Beautiful place, One of the Best market where you can get everything. Costlier than expected as compared to other market. Located at Heart of the city. On this night, the market becomes a no-parking zone with barricades and security services. Various types of cultural and entertainment programmes are held for the general public. When britishers took over, they renovated this place as  Londons Queen Street.

Hazratganj Market is known as the ‘Heart of Lucknow’. It is the most famous market in Lucknow. Back in 1842, the place was known as ‘Ganj’. When Britishers took over the city, they re-modelled the place after Queen Street in London. The stone pavements, lamp posts, benches, colourful fountains, uniform pink and cream colour with Victorian-style touches enhanced the architecture of the place. Hazratganj is famous for shopping complexes, theatres, offices, restaurants, books, cafes, and other extravagant little shops. It is an ideal shopping place for locals.#HazratganjMarket
