Dainik Jagran Group invites you to a four day cultural festival celebrating Awadh and its culture 'Jashn-e-Awadh,' from November 10 to 13 at Dilkusha Gardens, Military Farm Road, Lucknow.

The event is free and open to all. So, please feel free to extend the invitation to anyone.

We'll be performing Dastans from Tilism-e-Hoshruba on Sunday November 13 at 7 pm. It is always special to return to Lucknow for a performance because these tales had their birth in this grand city only.
