The Siege
lasted for 86 days and took away 979 lives within The

spectator of the bloody mayhem that turned a beautiful

Welcome
to the Resource Site on Lucknow by TORNOS..... This
site is all about Lucknow a North Indian city of India,
that was the capital of a Moughal province called Awadh (Oudh)
later it became an independent Indian State. Lucknow
gained prominence when Nawab Asif-ud-Daula made it his
capital in the year 1775 and with it took birth a unique
oriental culture. Lucknow till date is very conveniently
associated with etiquettes, mannerism and the art of
speech. It was here that the aristocratic culture found
its place even in the common households, on the streets,
Lucknow's lanes and innumerable by-lanes. Till date the
older parts of the city endorse these observations. More......
TORNOS is a Lucknow based Tour & a Destination
Promotion Company. It was setup in 1994 with virtually no
infrastructure by a few students of tourism. The objective
was not self centered but rather client-centric, to
promote Lucknow as a most sought after tourist destination
and to provide quality services to the incoming guests.
Today we have graduated to being the pioneers in the
industry and have carved an enviable niche for ourselves.
