G glorifies GRAND

I have just visited the GRAND MOSQUE in Abu Dhabi today. And no matter what I pen, I will not be able to do justice to its beauty, architecture and grandeur. I know I am still in awe of it. The final resting place of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan ( the same premises), the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque as it is known, is the largest in the UAE, and the 8th worldwide.

Designed by artisans worldwide, it took 11 years to build. It is the epitome of peace, serenity and opulence in simplicity. White has never looked so pristine, ever. And at times when words fail, pictures speak. And so for today, I will leave you with a few snapshots of a place that you must add to your ‘must visit’ list.

    Blue has always been my favourite colour, and in these pictures, it seems to accentuate the beauty of the architecture.

    Interesting perspectives and the play of light and shade. Especially liked the blue interiors of the dome.

    I’ve seen this mosque from outside and it looks pristine. So much so that I think we can compare it with the beauty of Taj Mahal. There is something about the white marble, isn’t it?

    The pics are amazing and captivating. My Mom had been to this place on her visit to Abu Dhabi and she kept praising the beauty and grandeur of the place.
