I am impressed by the scale and the grandeur effect of this mosque, but to have this much extravagance and display of wealth for a house of God kind of defeats the purpose of humility and humbleness towards God.
Interestingly, there is a lot of floral element/ patterns used and the absence of any Quranic verses/ calligraphic writings is a unique albeit different design choice.
You took great pictures. I am working on a mosque here too, which is patterned after the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, and we (my colleagues and I) always have a debate over certain design elements used in the mosque. Makes for a lively day at work to say the least. :-)
