Infrastructure
Built at a price of ₹ 70 lakhs, Lucknow Charbagh was designed by J. H. Hornimen. The foundation of the railway station was placed in March 1914. The building was completed in 1923. A major role in its design and planning was carried out by Chaubey Mukta Prasad, a consulting engineer for Ms Lanebrown and Hulett. It has a large garden in front of the building. It incorporates the mix of Rajput, Awadhi and Mughal architecture and has a palatial appearance. Architecturally, it is considered one of the most beautiful railway stations in India.[1] The Government Railway Police station at Lucknow Charbagh holds an ISO 9001 certificate.[2]
