Bismillah Gold & Green Mosaic Calligraphy

‘Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim’ handcrafted in Islamic Calligraphy Style with 24K Gold Mosaic glass tiles bearing a patterned green background. The Calligraphy mosaic work for the entrance arch is custom produced by MEC.

The Bismillah Gold & Green Mosaic Calligraphy blends delicate craftsmanship, serene color, and sacred symbolism into a visually uplifting focal point. The upper arched recess is adorned with a soothing turquoise mosaic backdrop densely patterned with swirling arabesques, crowned by flowing gold calligraphy that illuminates the space with spiritual resonance. Beneath it, intricately carved white marble panels and geometric latticework create a refined architectural composition enriched with texture, symmetry, and artistry.

Design & Visual Appeal

Tranquil Turquoise Backdrop

The arched recess features a luminous turquoise surface embellished with intricate, interwoven arabesque motifs. The soft blue-green tone introduces calmness and visual clarity, echoing traditional Islamic aesthetics.

Golden Calligraphic Flourish

A graceful composition of gold Arabic calligraphy spans the upper panel, standing bold and radiant against the turquoise mosaic. The sweeping lines contribute a sense of movement, reverence, and decorative harmony.

Elegantly Carved Mihrab Panels

Below the calligraphic section lies a series of carved white panels arranged in symmetrical rows. Each panel features its own geometric or floral pattern, contributing layers of texture without overwhelming the composition.

Balanced Architectural Framing

The tall pointed arch surrounding the mihrab is outlined with subtle recessed molding and perforated dotted detailing, creating an elegant contour that enhances the verticality and purity of the space.

Hanging Lantern Accents

Two ornate hanging lanterns introduce metallic warmth and classical ornamentation, complementing the gold calligraphy above and adding depth to the otherwise monochrome lower palette.

Craftsmanship & Materials

Hand-Finished Mosaic & Calligraphy

The turquoise mosaic is composed of fine, hand-laid tesserae, while the gold calligraphy is applied with precision to maintain crisp form and visual prominence.

Architectural Plaster & Stonework
