Calligraphers pays tribute to Indian independence
The show, titled ‘Panegyrics to India in Persian Poetry,’ is featuring over 30 works of calligraphy created by more than 30 contemporary Iranian calligraphers. The pieces are inspired by Persian poems written in praise of India over the past millennium.
The exhibition is being held at the Mir Emad Museum in Tehran’s Saadabad Cultural-Historical Complex, and will run for three weeks starting from August 27, 2024. The event is organized by the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Center of the Indian Embassy in
Tehran.
Calligraphy and poetry are highly revered art forms in Iran, and have a rich and vibrant history in India as well. The exhibition aims to highlight the cultural ties between the two countries through the intersection of these two art forms.
