Did You Know?

The minaret is the tower from which the call to prayer, adhan, is recited.
A vertically oriented color lithograph depicts a narrow street flanked by tall buildings with wooden balconies. In the foreground, people with medium-brown skin tones gather in groups wearing long robes. A tiered stone minaret with striped patterns and ornate circular balconies rises in the center background into a pale sky. The scene is rendered in muted tan and gray tones, with soft shadows cast along the path and architectural facades.
