With reference to the cultural history of India, consider the following statements:

1. White marble was used in Mughal Buland Darwaza and Khankah at Fatehpur Sikri.
2. Red sandstone and marble were used in making Bara lmambara and Rumi Darwaza at Lucknow.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

The Buland Darwaza at Fatehpur Sikri is primarily constructed from red and buff sandstone. While white and black marble were used for decorative purposes, the main structure is not white marble.

The Rumi Darwaza at Lucknow, along with the Bara Imambara, showcases Nawabi architecture, which differs significantly from Mughal architecture. The Rumi Darwaza is primarily made of bricks coated with lime. The Mughals commonly used red sandstone in their constructions.

Statement 1 is not correct. Statement 2 is not correct. Hence, neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct.
