(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- More than 40 pieces of Islamic calligraphy work, artistically inscribed with selected verses from Q'uran, are on display at the Omani Society for Fine Arts.
The event aims to cultivate an interest in learning more about the Indo-Islamic calligraphy tradition. H E Indra Mani Pandey, Ambassador of India to Oman said, 'Calligraphy has been an integral part of India's Islamic traditions. Calligraphy in India has evolved over centuries to acquire its own unique characteristics. It is hoped that the Indian Calligraphy Exhibition will enable people of Oman to become more aware of the history and development of calligraphy in India.'
Among the exhibits is a facsimile of a rare 7th century manuscript of Q'uran attributed to Hazrat Ali (R A), written in Kufic script on parchment. The exhibition was earlier held at the Oman Avenues Mall late last year as part of the first-ever Festival of India in Oman and attracted a large number of visitors. The exhibition will remain open until March 25 from 9am to 1.30pm and 4.30pm to 8pm.
