Dilkusha Kothi, Lucknow Overview

Dilkusha Kothi is a hunting lodge converted into a summer palace for the royals, built in 1800 by Major Gore in Baroque style. It was strongly impacted during the 1857 war of Indian independence and today lies in a ruined state, with only a few towers and walls still standing.

This Baroque-styled construction was quite strongly impacted during the 1857 war of Indian Independence. The present face of this structure is a mere ruin with a withstanding few towers and walls. 

Besides, the Dilkudha Kothi is in the vicinity of a well-manicured garden, thus making for a great picnic spot as well. The area of this monument is quite a secluded space from the rest of the town and finding reliable transport could be quite a hassle.
