THE BEAUTIFUL MOSQUE OF COLOURS

As sunlight cascades through its vibrant stained glass windows, every inch of the Nasir-ol-Mulk Mosque bursts with colour. The mosque, located in southern Iran, is illuminated with a kaleidoscope of colours when light shines through its windows. With its stained glass, beautiful patterned carpets and intricately detailed ceiling tiles, the mosque attracts worshipers and tourists alike. The grand temple is known locally as ‘the pink mosque’ and ‘the mosque of colour’ because of its colourful interior and exterior.
