Tajul Masajid

Granted special permission to photograph within this madrasah located in Bhopal, India I found both beauty and innocence. It is a glimpse into an age-old system of Islamic education handed down from medieval times. I left with an awareness and appreciation for a way of life once foreign to me and the grateful acknowledgement that even a small amount of mutual understanding goes a long way toward building a bridge of acceptance and respect, much needed in our rapidly contracting modern world.
