Nasir Ol Molk front enterance |
For
this entry, I will share about one of the mosque that I dream to go which is Nasir
Ol Molk Mosque. Generally known as the Pink Mosque, it is also called the
Mosque of colors, the Rainbow Mosque. It
is a traditional mosque in Shiraz, Iran.
This
mosque was built during Qajar era, and is still in use under the protection of the
Endowment Foundation of Nasir Ol Molk. It was built from the year of 1876 to
1888 by the order of Mirza Hassan Ali, a Qajar ruler. The designers were
Mohammad Hasan e Memar and Mohammad Reza Kashi-Saz e Sirazi. Both of them used
extensively stained glass on the façade and other traditional elements such as
five concave, which create a breathtaking effect of the inferior like standing
in a kaleidoscope.

That's all for this entry. See you again. Bye.
At one time the sun hit the stained glass, the entire building is flooded by a vibrant rainbow of colors. The mosque comes to life with the sun rise and colors dance throughout the day like whirling dervishes. It reflects on the ground, walls, the arches and towering spires. It even reflect on the visitors as if a colored ball is hit by the first sun ray and explodes to thousands of butterflies all around.
