Jaunpur is a small town in Eastern Uttar Pradesh. It is about 50 km from Varanasi and is famous for Sharqi architecture. When I was a child, I met the queen of Jaunpur in her Lucknow home. She was a very pleasant lady and was called Rani Sahiba

Shyam Khatu Mandir on the banks of River Gomti, opposite Colvin Taluqdars’ College in Lucknow is fast growing in popularity, as it provides a calm setting where people come and relax as they worship and socialise.
