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. Love the calligraphy.

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'.

I am also inclined to think that this photo probably doesn't belong in "muslim" matters... wallahu alam 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.
