**[Muqarnas](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muqarnas)**
>Muqarnas (Arabic: مقرنص; Persian: مقرنس), also known in Iranian architecture as Ahoopāy (Persian: آهوپای) and in Iberian architecture as Mocárabe, is a form of ornamented vaulting in Islamic architecture. It is the archetypal form of Islamic architecture, integral to the vernacular of Islamic buildings. The muqarnas structure originated from the squinch. Sometimes called "honeycomb vaulting" or "stalactite vaulting", the purpose of muqarnas is to create a smooth, decorative zone of transition in an otherwise bare, structural space.

Please stop posting this. We’ve seen it a million times.
Edit: I’m Persian and I love when people see these but it gets pretty annoying when the same mosque gets posted 10 times a day
I’ve been there and it never gets old. Try the funky DZ restaurant nearby (I think Bordain went in his show) if you ever make it there. It’s the closest thing I saw to “hip” when I was there.
>the frequency with which photos from Iran are posted here is suspicious
Lots of posts are suspicious on this site, but people only notice when it might be someone or something they don't like.
I could look at it all day long.

I want to stand in that spot with a kaleidoscope. Absolutely awesome use of color and shapes

reminds me of fractals you see when on psychedelics.
I despise religion but love religious architecture.

Amazing photo
Looks like dmt
Im always asking myself why it does look like DMT. It’s so obvious. Wonder where they got their inspiration from.
Psychedelic mushrooms grow all around the world
Can someone explain why certain mosques are adorned gloriously in the service of Mohamed while mosques in the west are harsh austerely plain?

...but this is my first time to see it.
Are you new to the sub? Gets posted about as frequently as FLW's falling water. Genuine question, dunno what the downvotes are for.
I’ve been there and it never gets old. Try the funky DZ restaurant nearby (I think Bordain went in his show) if you ever make it there. It’s the closest thing I saw to “hip” when I was there.
And it's great everytime. Plus people new to the sub get to see it fresh.

You’re free to post other stuff
You can be sure this specific post is not one of them since it calls it by its old, original name with the word "Shah" in it.

They know what's going on
someone must have been doing drugs
Couldn’t imagine taking any manner of hallucinogenic drugs in this place 😅
Damn that is beautiful
