As you move ahead into the depth of the campus, the greenery will refill you with energy and make you fall in love with it. The array of huge trees on both the ends, the chirpiness of the birds and if you are lucky enough you will definitely witness the peacocks dancing. The well-manicured gardens are an eye-charmer. Spread in a sprawling 185 acres, IIM Lucknow is an ideal setting for learning.
The beauty of the campus is further blessed with the rains of Lucknow and the mist of winters. The charisma of the campus becomes magnanimous with every drop of rain. It will force you to leave the shade of your rooms and enjoy the scenic beauty. The mist in winters gives the campus a heavenly look. After a stressful day, a walk around the campus is a meditating experience.
The medieval architecture with the sculptures and carvings at every building add to the grandeur of the campus. The meditating Lord Buddha at Gyanodaya (the library) and the humongous construction of the building are a few instances of the many. Every block has a uniqueness as do their names. The mystifying medusa is another captivating view of the campus.
Besides its greenery and construction, the campus is further made colourful by the festivals and celebrations. Every festival is celebrated with exquisite zeal at the campus. The brightness in Diwali, the colours in holi, the garba moves during navratri, the Christmas blast, the massive id feast, or the onam and pongal celebrations, all serve as an icing to the serenity.
Every time you sit at the convo ground glaring at the beauty around you the thought that runs through your head is “I am glad I am here.” The perfect combination of architectural and natural beauty makes IIM Lucknow India’s prettiest B-school.
