The “Imambara” may actually be a shrine (from what I can gather from the description) … in other words, this may be a grave-worshipping hot-spot. There is even an entry-fee for this “grave” deed. If I am mistaken about this being a grave-shrine, please someone feel free to correct me.
It’s perhaps a good photo to remind folks what to avoid in this area. I am also inclined to think that this photo probably doesn’t belong in “muslim” matters… wallahu alam
There is mention of a grave site of the one who commissioned the building, but no mention that he is a saint/pir/etc, that would imply anything ‘dodgy’. I don’t think we should assume the worst until the worst is proven outright, non? Especially as grave-worshipping is most definitely ‘the worst’.
Bismillah by WaoOoma is AMAZING. mA
the negative space design is fantastic! so hard to draw by hand, well for me at least o.o
Care to expound on what “negative space design” means… sorry to sound so dumb about art…
negative space= background (:
the tile like designs in the background are so intricate
Love the calligraphy. Does anyone know of any introductory books that teach stuff like that i.e. the method behind the Calligraphy. I visited a few sites but most show only the end product.
It might be worth leaving a comment on the Flickr photo pages of the above calligraphers, and see what they suggest?
