Since Islam does not permit illustrating holy texts with images of human figures the script itself became art. Punctuated with gold, tessellations, vivid colours and breathtaking precision by illustrious craftsmen. Today, calligraphed pages of the Quran can be found in various museums around the world. Few of the most ornately calligraphed and illustrated Qurans on display at the Chowmahalla Palace. #Heritage #Historic #Art #ArtImitateLife #Nizami #Nizam #QuranShareef #HolyQuran #Faith #Hope #Religion #StonePigments #Calligraphy #Illustrated #Tessellation #Art #HandMade #Gild #Gilded #QuranGallery #ChowmahallaPalace #Hyderabad #HyderabadDiaries #HyderabadJournal #Telangana #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at Chowmahalla Palace)
