Night prayer hall

Shabestan or night Prayer Hall

Vakil mosque's night prayer hall (Shabestan), with an area of

approximately 2,700 square meters, contains 48 monolithic pillars

carved in spirals, each with a capital of acanthus leaves. The

pulpit(minbar) in this hall is cut from a solid piece of green marble

with a flight of 14 steps and is considered to be one of the master

pieces of the Zand period. The exuberant floral decorative tiles

largely date from the Qajar period. Thanks for comments.
