    Awadh Culture
    The history of an exotic and highly cultured Lucknow with all its pomp and
    splendour and its romantic Shan-e-Avadh associations actually dates from 1775A.D.
    when Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula shifted the capital of Avadh from Faizabad to Lucknow.
    The glorious era of Lucknow lasted till 1856 when the last Nawab, Wajid Ali Shah was
    deposed by the East India Company and banished to Matiyaburj near Calcutta.
    During these eventful years, Lucknow became one of the most celebrated centers of
    Oriental opulence, music, dance, drama , poetry and scholarship. The Nawab Wazirs
    brought with them their Persian music, dance, language, costumes and culture which
    blended beautifully with the already highly-developed arts, language and culture of
    Hindu India.

    ‘Sadarang’ (1670-1748), a great musician and vainik at the court of Mohammad
    Shah Rangeele. He once defied the imperial orders, and in order to escape wrath,
    he fled to Lucknow and lived here in peaceful obscurity for some years. It was
    during his sojourn in Lucknow that he evolved the khayal style and composed
    hundreds of khayals under his pseudonym ‘Sadarang’.
