Agha Bozorg mosque
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agha Bozorg mosque (Persian: مسجد آقا بزرگ‎‎ Masjed-e Āghā Bozorg) is a historical mosque in Kashan, Iran. The mosque was built in the late 18th century by master-mimar Ustad Haj Sa'ban-ali. The mosque and theological school (madrasah) is located in the center of the city. Agha Bozorgh Mosque was constructed for prayers, preaching and teaching sessions held by Molla Mahdi Naraghi II, known as Āghā Bozorgh.
Specifications
The mosque has been described as "the finest Islamic complex in Kashan and one of the best of the mid-19th century". Noted for its symmetrical design, it consists of two large iwans, one in front of the mihrab and the other by the entrance. The courtyard has a second court in the middle which comprises a garden with trees and a fountain. The iwan in front of mehrab has two minarets with a brick dome. It was here where Ustad Ali Maryam as a pupil started his career as an architect.

Hello Saber,
I am in no way an expert on mosques, but I have seen quite many and this one seems to me rather unusual with the courtyards at two levels. I like this style and I like the symmetry and fine details you have captured with excellent light and sharpness.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Saber.
Nice symetric composition, well chosen POV, human shapes are useful both to create movement and to notice about temple's dimensions. Available light wasn't the best. Rgs.

Hello Saber,

I don't think I have seen inside a mosque, like this, but I agree with your composition, in that it suits your symmetrical approach. The lines work very well to guide us from f/g to b/g, during which time, there are lots of fine arched details to enjoy before we reach the pinnacle of the dome.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

L'image est d'une grande beauté.
