EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Char Minar, a symbol of the vibrant city of Hyderabad in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. Standing tall and proud, this magnificent structure is a testament to Islamic art and architecture. The Char Minar's origins date back to the 16th century during the reign of Sultan Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah. Its name translates to "Four Towers" representing its four grand minarets that grace each corner. These minarets rise majestically into the sky, reaching towards divinity. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we are transported back in time to 1965 when it was captured by renowned photographer Quilici Folco. The intricate details and craftsmanship displayed in every element of this architectural marvel are truly awe-inspiring. From its ornate portal adorned with delicate carvings to its meticulously designed balustrades and windows, every aspect exudes an air of religious significance. It serves as a reminder not only of Hyderabad's rich cultural heritage but also as a testament to India's diverse history. The Char Minar stands as a non-Christian religious structure that has withstood the test of time for centuries. Its presence continues to inspire visitors from all corners of the globe who come seeking solace or simply marvel at its beauty. This extraordinary artwork captures both historical significance and artistic brilliance within one frame. As we gaze upon it, we cannot help but be captivated by its grandeur and appreciate how it represents centuries-old Islamic artistry in India's vast tapestry.
