Q. Consider the following statements about Rumi Darwaza:
1. It was built by Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula between 1784–86.
2. It is also known as the Turkish Gate.
3. It was constructed to commemorate the coronation of Wajid Ali Shah.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Answer: 1 and 2 only
Notes: Rumi Darwaza was constructed by Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula between 1784 and 1786 in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The grand gateway is also known as the 'Turkish Gate', being inspired by the architecture of Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul). However, it was not constructed to commemorate the coronation of Wajid Ali Shah; that statement is factually incorrect. Thus, only statements 1 and 2 are correct.
