PINK MASJID OF IRAN

 

Nasir al-Mulk 'Pink Masjid Of Iran Is Like Stepping Into A Kaleidoscope

From the outside, the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz, Iran, seems like a fairly traditional house of worship --
but it's hiding a gorgeously colorful secret.

The multitude of stained glass windows turn the inside of the mosque into a riotous wonderland of color that is
absolutely breathtaking.

Japanese photographer Koach was blown away by the Masjid's beauty which
 is best appreciated in the morning light, explaining:

You can only see the light through the stained glass in the early morning. It was built to catch the morning sun,
so that if you visit at noon it will be too late to catch the light. The sight of the morning sunlight shining through
the colorful stained glass, then falling over the tightly woven Persion carpet, is so bewitching that it seems to be
 from another world.Even if you are the world’s least religious person, you might feel your hands coming together
 in prayer naturally when you see the brilliance of this light. Perhaps the builders of this mosque wanted to show
their “faith” through the morning light shining through this stained glass.
