= Grand Mosque Allahabad Kandyaro, Sindh, Pakistan =



Design
The inspiration of Grand Mosque Allahabad has been drawn from the most traditional Islamic Architectural sites. Preserving hand painted tile (Kashi) heritage of Indus valley civilization while utilizing the most advanced technology of fair finish concrete.



History
In 2004 a group of senior architects, civil engineers and artists volunteered to build the Mosque.

Architecture
The Mosque consists of 101 domes. The main dome of Mosque is at the height of 115 feet, the second dome is at the height of 78 feet, remaining 99 domes are at 26 feet with one symbolic minaret at the height of 120 feet indicating unity of Allah.

The domes and the sole minaret denote the main design of the mosque.

Finish
Allahabad Mosque is unique in design incorporating fair finish concrete structure with the combination of hand painted porcelain tile work. Floral patterns have been preferred over geometric designs which require inch by inch details to transfer them on porcelain tiles.

A group of senior artists volunteered to set up a production unit to use all available resources utilizing hand painting techniques, selection of colours, firing process to create master pieces of kashi tiles. They have been producing kashi tiles for the past 12 years and continue to produce signature designs, floral and calligraphic patterns on Kashi tiles to adorn Grand Mosque Allahabad.



They deserve appreciation for the remarkable dedication for creating exclusive patterns for use in Allahabad Mosque.
