The name "Lakhnau" is correct - phoneticaly. But the real name is "Lucknow". It is pronounced as "Lakhnau". It is the city of "Nawabs"-the former kings of the state of "Awadh" or "Oudh" as both the name is used by history writers. It is culturally very rich city with excellent places to travel and have a looksee. The culinary delights of the city are famous all over the world. It is famous for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian delightful food. The city is famous for its "Lakhnavi Tahzeeb" or the way traditional Lucknow person interacts with other people in words and demeanor. The city is also famous for its traditional "chikan" cloth. It is a very thin cotton made in a special way so that it is very light and comfortable to wear.

i will tell some more about Lucknow some other time.
