Which monument located in Uttar Pradesh draws architectural inspiration from the ‘Sublime Porte’ (Bab-i-Humayun) of Istanbul ?
Rumi Darwaza
The monument in Uttar Pradesh modelled on the Sublime Porte, the Bab-i-Humayun of Istanbul, is the Rumi Darwaza in Lucknow.
Its very name records the debt: Rum was the Persian and Urdu term for the Ottoman realm, so Rumi Darwaza means the Turkish gate. Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula had it built around 1784 as part of the famine-relief works that also produced the Bara Imambara, and it rises about sixty feet in Awadhi style, with lakhauri brick and lime plaster rather than stone, crowned by an eight-sided umbrella-like chhatri.
The other monuments have different lineages. The Bara Imambara nearby is famous for its unsupported vaulted hall and the Bhulbhulaiya, Agra Fort is a Mughal fortification in red sandstone, and Jhansi Fort is a Bundela hill fort.
Hence, the answer is the Rumi Darwaza.
