Lucknow (c-eniconˈlʌknaʊ; , , , -hnsˈləkʰnəuIPAhi-Lucknow is the capital city of Uttar Pradesh in India. Lucknow is the administrative headquarters of Lucknow District and Lucknow Division.

Located in what was originally known as the Awadh (Oudh) region, Lucknow has always been a multicultural city, and flourished as a cultural and artistic capital of North India in the 18th and 19th centuries. Courtly manners, beautiful gardens, poetry, music, and fine cuisine patronized by the Persian-loving Shia Nawabs of the city are well known amongst Indians and students of South Asian culture and history. Lucknow is popularly known as The City of Nawabs. It is also known as the Golden City of the East, Shiraz-i-Hind and The Constantinople of India.

Straddling the river Gomti, modern Lucknow is a bustling metropolis. It is placed among the fastest growing cities and now it is metropolitan city of India and is rapidly emerging as a manufacturing, commercial and retailing hub. This unique combination of rich cultural traditions and brisk economic growth provides Lucknow with an aura that refuses to fade away.

This is a Maujiza that took place in a In Lucknow, India Dargah / Shrine (Ghaar ki Karbala) on the 7th of Rabi-Ul-Awwal 2008. I have Personally Shot this video and i am witness to this miracle of Maula. In the three videos you will see Blood on the Alam which reportedly dripped out of the Alam somewhere in the afternoon. Also Similar blood stains comparatively much bigger than these were found on the Shrine's Minaratte (Minar) The video of which i could not shoot. The Videos are significantly Short in length as i could not stand there and shoot for long as other people kept pouring in and were asking others to move on. I have always heard of mojizas but had never seen one. Now i saw one with my own eyes and i was shocked and i had the wildest goosebumps. Believe it or not just one day before this happened i was watching videos on youtube with my cousin of other mojizas and the very next day i witness this. FINALLY, IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN IT JUST DON'T MOCK IT! I CAN AGREE THAT NOT EVERYBODY's FAITH ( AQEEDA) IS THE SAME. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE. JUST DON'T PROVE YOUR STUPIDITY HERE.
