Event Description : ‘A World of Beauty and Grace’ film screening
The film was made for the Public Diplomacy Division, Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, on the subject of the Islamic Architecture of India. This gave me a wonderful opportunity to travel to all parts of the country again, for the shooting.
Mughal architecture of North India has been very well known. However, there is a fascinating richness of Islamic architectural heritage in other parts of the country, which has not been known very well. In this film, I take you on a journey of discovery of this great heritage of India’s culture.
It is well known that the most famous Islamic monument of the world, the Taj Mahal, is in India. What is not equally well known is that the second oldest mosque in use in the world is also in India, in Kerala. In fact, India has a vast and rich architectural heritage of Islam. From Kerala in the South till Kashmir in the North, from Tripura in the East till Gujarat in the West.
Since ancient times, India had considerable trade contact with the Arab world. With the advent of Islam, Arab traders became the carriers of the new faith. The first mosque was made in India at Kodungalur by Raja Cheraman Perumal. It was made in 629 AD, within the life time of the prophet. This is one of the oldest mosques of the world.
India has a vast, living heritage of Islamic architecture. These monuments are a great treasure of India’s culture and many of them are recognized as World Heritage Monuments. We see in these the confluence of local talent with inspirations from Iran, Arabia, and Central Asia. These mosques, tombs, madrasas, palaces and fortresses are a beautiful and unique treasure of the heritage of Islamic architecture.
