Venue : Lucknow
Turning
to the festivals that make Luknow one-of a kind, mention must be made to
the Moharrum festival. Commemorating the death of Imam Hussain, ‘Moharrum’
witnesses emotional processions of tazias (models of Imam Hussain’s
mausoleum at Karbala, Iraw) & Alam’s.
Not
only festivals, the people of this beautiful city indulge in various
exciting contests that have come down from the time of the Nawabs.
Kite
flying is one such sport. Kites
of different shapes, sizes, colours take to the skies leading to all round
excitement and enjoyment.
The
art of training pigeons which was perfected by the nobility of yester
years is prevalent even today. The pigeon flying event is yet another exciting game that is
eagerly awaited. Its
humming and lively characteristics represents Lucknowi culture in its
modern day context.
