19-10-2019: A Roomi Darwaza stamp on Historical Gates of Indian Forts and Monuments

The Rumi Darwaza is earlier known as the Turkish Gate, which was an impressive gateway that was built under the sponsorship of Nawab Asaf-Ud- Daula in 1784. Rumi Darwaza was one of the best examples of Awadi Architecture of that period.  Respectively it stands 60 feet tall and was shaped after the Sublime Porte ( Bab-i-Hümayuo) in Istanbul. It was close to the Asafi Imambara in Lucknow and later on, it has become the logo of the city of Lucknow.
