    105 Chapter-5 L U C K N 0 W A Study in Resort Personality Physical Setting : The cultural city of Lucknow - on - Gomati is a paramount urban agglomeration in the otherwise economically depressed rural Awadh. Lucknow »was founded on the mound, strategically located on the southern banks of the river Gomati. River frontages are not mere localizable attractions for city facades but they also have a secret hand in determining the morphological aspects of townships particularly in their early stages of development. It is situated at 26*^52' N Latitude and 80^ 56'E longitude. Presently, Lucknow dominates as the capital of Uttar Pradesh. This city, of about over one and half million people ranks among the ten big metropolis of India. Lie of the Land : Considering the notoriety of the Gomati for frequent rising in spates, the high mound-popularly known as the Lakshman Tila- was an ideal location for a human settlement, insuring safety and security against flood hazards. The rest of the land undulates very gradually, almost imperceptibly, towards the south and south east. Now known as Lakshman Tila. 106 TAMING OF THE GOMATI I MILE LUCKNOW: FLOODS SUBMERGED AREA BUND LINE The. Gomati ka^ bzen notoxiou^ {jox h.z>i ' {,ioujn-;>'.

  • Monumental Heritage in Lucknow: Is Host Population Aware of Monumental Heritage ?
    RESEARCH PAPER Tourism Volume : 3 | Issue : 3 | March 2013 | ISSN - 2249-555X Monumental Heritage in Lucknow: Is Host Population Aware of Monumental Heritage ? KEYWORDS Monuments of Lucknow, tourism product, tourism development etc. Jatashankar R. Tewari Assistant Professor and Coordinator- Hotel Management, School of Tourism and Hotel Management, Uttarakhand Open University, Haldwani District –Nainital Uttarakhand (India) ABSTRACT Monumental heritage constitutes a great opportunity for many countries, so that they can develop strategy to convert this heritage into “a tourism Product”. Host population plays very important role in development of tourism activity at any destination. Host population is an important stack holder of the tourism. The level of tolerance, friendly behaviour is of paramount importance in flourishing of the tourism at a destination. The product knowledge is im- perative for the all stack holder. The local people’s awareness about the destination’s monumental heritage, will surely be affecting the growth of the tourism at the destination. The present paper attempts to find the local host populations aware- ness about the heritage of their location. The study shows there is significant lack in the awareness of the tourism product in host population. The government and non-government organisations must participate in awareness campaign so that local population may actively participate in development of tourism at destination. Introduction: India has a glorious history and great tradi- parks, gardens and other magnificent structures such as Bara tions. We Indians can boast of our more than 4000 years of Imambara, Roomi Darwaza, Chota Imambara, Chatter Man- civilized life.

    1 The Masjid-i Jami of Herat, the city's first congregational mosque, was built on the site of two smaller Zoroastrian fire temples that were destroyed by earthquake and fire. A mosque construction was started by the Ghurid ruler Ghiyas ad-Din Ghori in 1200 (597 AH), and, after his death, the building was continued by his brother and successor Muhammad of Ghor. In 1221, Genghis Khan conquered the province, and along with much of Herat, the small building fell into ruin. It wasn't until after 1245, under Shams al-Din Kart that any rebuilding programs were undertaken, and construction on the mosque was not started until 1306. However, a devastating earthquake in 1364 left the building almost completely destroyed, although some attempt was made to rebuild it. After 1397, the Timurid rulers redirected Herat's growth towards the northern part of the city. This suburbanization and the building of a new congregational mosque in Gawhar Shad's Musalla marked the end of the Masjid Jami's patronage by a monarchy. 2 This mosque was constructed in 1888 and was the first mosque in any Australian capital city. It has four minarets which were built in 1903 for 150 pounds by local cameleers with some help from Islamic sponsors from Melbourne. Its founding members lie in the quiet part of the South West corner of the city. 3 The Cyprus Turkish Islamic Community of Victoria was established in Richmond, Clifton Hill, and was then relocated to Ballarat Road, Sunshine in 1985 The Sunshine Mosque is the biggest Mosque in Victoria, and has extended its services to cater for ladies, elderly and youth groups.
