mihrab 3D model

The mihrab is a niche or recess in a place of worship such as a mosque, usually located in a wall, used to indicate the direction of prayer. Since Muslims must turn to the direction of prayer, the mihrab serves this function and is generally considered one of the most important parts of a mosque.

Mihrabs also attract attention as an aesthetic and artistic element. They are usually made of materials such as stone, marble or wood and may be decorated with ornaments, calligraphic writings or tile patterns. In Ottoman, Seljuk and Andalusian architecture, mihrabs have been among the striking elements in both functional and artistic terms.
