Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking down the grand avenue through the colossal arch of Rumi Darwaza toward the multi-tiered facade of Bara Imambara, showing neem tree branches and stone pavers in the foreground, the majestic archway and minarets in the middle-ground, and the soft Awadh plain horizon fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick canopies of neem and banyan trees around the Imambara complexes, Gomti Riverfront lawns, and Residency gardens.
