One of the first exhibits is a striking front portion of Ali Quli’s resting place in Makli. Ali Quli was an important figure during Emperor Jehangir’s rule in India. The picture clearly shows the kind of artisanship that went into making his maqbara.

The piece next to it is a closeup shot of another tomb. The mellow lighting and the angle from which the picture has been taken draw attention to the delicate carvings on the structure.

The images of Shahjahani Mosque, Thatta, are no less impressive. One particular grab shows the many domes which are an integral part of the mosque’s constructional design. The photographer says there are 97 domes and he has managed to capture them all. Shots of the interior of Shahjahani Mosque take the viewer to a different domain. The top-angle views highlight the depth of the building as well as the finesse with which the masons built it.

The exhibition, which is organised by the Sindh culture department and Alliance Francaise Karachi, will continue till June 9.
