About
Hurtige fakta: A tiny prayer hall hides some of the most intricate stone latticework you'll see, each panel carved so finely it reads like filigree in sandstone. Local craftsmen still point to the 'Tree of Life' screen as an iconic example of sculptural skill, its silhouette reproduced on posters, shop signs, and university emblems.
Højdepunkter: One window holds the famous 'Tree of Life' jali, a single carved panel whose twisting branches cast lace-like shadows across the stone floor. Watch at midday when the sun is high; narrow shafts of light pick out every curl and leaf, making the stone seem almost translucent and warm under your fingertips.
Insider tips
- Wear modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees when entering the mosque compound.
- Stand inside the prayer hall and shoot towards the 'Tree of Life' jaali for dramatic backlit silhouettes.
- Avoid midday when harsh light and local school groups increase crowds.
- Leave tripods at the hotel, security sometimes restricts large equipment; carry a small lens cloth for dusty conditions.
