Opened in 2005, Sahara Ganj was Lucknow’s first major shopping mall and remains a sentimental favorite for locals. Located in the heart of the city, it successfully blends traditional charm with modern retail, housing popular anchors like Pantaloons and Big Bazaar (now Smart). The mall is a five-story structure known for its easy accessibility and family-friendly atmosphere. Its glass-roofed atrium allows for natural light, creating a bright and airy shopping environment. It remains one of the busiest spots in the city due to its central location near the historic Hazratganj market.
